@ekamathletica purvottanasana drills for #asanarecipeoftheweek drill 1 helps build strength in the legs & upper back. Focus on grounding into the feet evenly (especially the inner arch) while lengthening your butt to the backs of your knees. Avoid pulling the shoulder heads backwards. The work comes from the shoulder blades lifting into the chest. These are all the same actions you need for the full expression of the posture. Drill 2 is for those who have a difficult time reaching the feet to the floor. Place a wedge under your feet in order to ground. Find the same actions as you did in drill 1. As time goes on slowly begin to move the wedge further away using less and less until its not needed anymore. Drill 3 is for those who experience discomfort in the wrists. Place your hands on a wedge to decrease the angle of your wrist. As you press the hands evenly into the wedge firm your upper arms towards one another and incorporate all the actions of drill 1. Much like drill 2 slowly begin to move the wedge away from your hands using less and less until it is comfortable to put the hand fully on the floor.
