Yoga with Wings for Air Travel
"You
must approach your yoga practice with reverence and gratitude and
love. Its very much like entering a temple." Amrit Desai
Mountain Pose
 Like
a mountain in the clouds, stand tall with your feet hip width apart.
Roll the palms of your hands face forward lengthening your arms
from your shoulders. Gather your attention around your heart and
begin breathing long and deep. Rock to the balls of your feet lifting
your heels off the floor, come high on your toes. Slowly lower
your heels to the floor and stand taller in both legs. Lift your
toes, spread them wide apart and slowly fan them out on to the
floor. Draw your knees towards your hips by firming your thighs.
Float your lower ribs away from your hips elongating the sides of
your body, roll your shoulders down and back. Breathe. Allow your
arms now to just dangle by your sides, letting go of any unnecessary
gripping in your shoulders or
your mind.
Keep your face muscles soft. Ascend the
crown of your head up as your feet descend down. Take five long deep
breaths and stay in attention to yourself as you go to the extended
mountain pose.
