Yoga for the Surfer
A Very Special Practice Series by Ateeka
from Hawaii
Standing Forward Fold - Uttanasana
Continuing to counter balance the paddling pose of engaged
spinal muscles, gently fold forward from the hips into a standng
forward fold. Consider folding with slightly bent knees if you spinal
muscles or hamstrings are feeling tight. If the hands don’t quite
reach the sand yet, just cross the arms overhead and hold onto the
elbows. Allow the weight of the upper body to gently draw the spine
long and the crown to sink towards the earth. Nestling all parts of
the feet on the sand, invite a bit more weight to the balls of the
feet, and now concentrate the effort even more to the insides of the
feet. Relax the toes. Staying with the breath, allow the spine to
grown long and backs of the legs to open slowly.
