and a small pillow between your knees.
Have your knees pointing forward
which is the direction your chest is pointing
take it easy
let your left arm be straight out from your shoulder
on the floor
1. Practice flexion,
which is the rounding of your back,
by the contracting of your stomach muscles
Bring your stomach in
and your left elbow down toward
your left knee
which comes up toward it
then come back to the starting position
do this many times
not far
not trying to reach the knee with the elbow
rest
2. Practice flexion with your knee moving forward
so that you bring your knee forward
with your knee coming up toward your face
as it moves forward away from your chest
as you round your back
and pull your stomach in
and push your middle back backward
and then come back
many times
aware
ease
pleasure
rest
Practice flexion with your arm moving forward
and slightly down
forward and down
stomach in
back rounding
and then come back
many times
aware
ease
pleasure
rest
3 Do both together
Knee forward and a bit up
Hand forward and a bit down
stomach in
back rounding
and then come back
many times
aware
ease
pleasure
rest
4. Extension
(always lengthens the body)
As per yesterday,
Move your hand forward and up
arch your back
and pushing out your belly
and then come back
many times
aware
ease
pleasure
rest
And as per two days ago
bring the knee forward and down a bit
push the belly out
and arch the back
and then come back
many times
aware
ease
pleasure
rest
5. Combine these two movements
so the arch of your back is
sending your hand forward and up
and your knee
forward and down
and then come back
many times
aware
ease
pleasure
rest
6. Let's go backward, just in extension
Bring your left shoulder back and up a bit
pushing out your belly
and arching your back
and then come back
many times
aware
ease
pleasure
rest
Now, bring your left hip back and down a bit
pushing out your belly
and arching your back
and then come back
many times
aware
ease
pleasure
rest
7. Now, a fun project,
both ways are going to be in extension
Move your hand forward and up
push your belly out
and bring your hip back and down
(those are the same, back arching and belly coming forward)arching your back
return to neutral
and then go into extension
and keep going so that
your shoulder comes back and up
as your belly pushes out
and your knee goes down and forward
as your back arches
go back and forth,
arching each way
and then relaxing in neutral
and then arching again as the shoulder
and hip
move in opposite directions
go slowly
if you don't "get it"
go slower
and play around with some variation
you feel in your body
any movement with awareness
is
good
you are
good
life is good
