Posture Refresh with a Hand Towel
Posture Refresh with a Hand Towel
This is something EVERYONE can do at home, and should do on the daily.
All you need is a rolled hand towel.
It is a little more work than it looks, so stick with it!
Your entire spine and breathing capacity will thank YOU!
Video here.
I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to be able to stand aligned, with minimal effort.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT AESTHETICS; it’s about breathing, mood and confidence!
You may not be able get there today, but as K. Pattabhi Jois said, ‘Practice And All Is Coming.’
POSTURE REFRESH WITH A HAND TOWEL- DIRECTIONS
Fold a hand towel in half the long way. You’ll have a long, skinny rectangle.
Roll end to end to form a jelly roll.
Walk to a wall and place the roll vertically in between your shoulder blades, and your feet about 6-8″ from the baseboard.
Here’s where the magic happens:
Take your tail to the wall.
Open your arms like a T.
Take your head to the wall and draw your chin in.
Breathe 3-5 breaths.
Enjoy the space in your body.
POSTURE REFRESH WITH A HAND TOWEL – ADVANCED OPTION
Replace the towel with a yoga block.
Press the feet down.
Reach the middle fingers away from one another.
Release the shoulders away from the ears, and LIFT THAT CROWN.
[FYI, this is a lot of work!].
