"My
soul is in the sky."
-
William Shakespeare, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' Act V. Scene I.
Half Dog Pose Ardha Uttanasana
 Place your hands on the counter a little wider than shoulder distance.
Step back a few feet so that your hips are over your heels. Either
straighten your legs by firming your thighs or bend the knees slightly
depending on how tight your hamstrings are. If your legs are straight,
continue lengthening your sit bones and tailbone away from your
hands. Try to rest your torso parallel towards the floor. If your
knees are bent, continue sliding your hips away from your hands.
Take five to ten long deep breaths. Listen to your body and if it
doesn’t feel good, come out. To release the pose, bend the
knees slightly and walk forward slowly uncurling one vertebra at
a time.
