This is our last #modifiedmondays post. The pose this week is Natarajasana or Dancer Pose! Here I show you some exercises to build strength in the pose. I take it to the floor to build the extension in the back. This will help you keep from dumping into the low back. ⭐️Start in cobra pose and push up as high as your back allows (without dumping into the low back) ⭐️Press the tops of your toes firmly into the ground, engage your core and keeping your heart lifted slowly lift your hands off the ground and float above the earth. ⭐️ Bonus: extend the arms out overhead and keep the upper body lifted! ⭐️Start to kick your left heel in towards your buttasana and reach around with your right hand and grab ahold of the foot. ⭐️Kick the foot into the hand and pull your hand into the foot to create this dynamic tension that will lift your heart up and extend out of the lower vertebra. ⭐️Bonus: reach around with the left arm and grab foot with BOTH hands! TRY to keep the heart lifted while doing this (my shoulders drop so I need to work on my shoulder flexibility more)! This is also a reclining version of Natarajasana and it feels great to get it on the ground then start to work it in a standing balance! ⭐️To work the balance aspect of Natarajasana practice any standing balance!
