Thunderbolt Pose (Vajrasana)

Thunderbolt Pose (Vajrasana)

Kneel and sit back on your heels with the tops of your feet in contact with the floor. Your soles will stretch and curve into a good arch underneath you. Keep your big toes and heels together so there is no gap or space between the feet. If the front of your ankles are not flexible enough to rest comfortably on the floor without a space, use a small towel rolled into a tight tube shape to place underneath, and gradually use smaller cloths until you no longer need this prop. Sit with your back and spine straight but not tense. Let your spine lengthen upward without forcing it. Imagine a string attached to the top of your head up to a bunch of helium balloons. On your breath inhale relax and balance, then on the exhale allow your spine to lengthen and straighten, stretching gently upward. Aim to stay in this position for 5 minutes. If this is uncomfortable or you experience "pins and needles," you probably need a larger rolled towel beneath the front of your ankles.

Medicine Ball Side Planks

Medicine Ball Side Planks

Medicine Ball Side Planks firm the whole midsection, with the added ball work making them especially effective for the obliques and overall core strength. Prop yourself up on one forearm in a side plank, hips lifted so your body forms a straight line, and hold or reach a medicine ball with your free hand. Hold the position, keeping your hips square and lifted, then switch sides.

Raise All Toes

Raise All Toes

Walk around the room for a few seconds to relax the feet, then stand straight and still in Mountain pose (Tadasana). Keep your feet parallel and closer than shoulder width. Straighten your legs and allow your spine to lift and lengthen as before, feeling the gentle balloon pull upward from the imaginary string atop your head. Balance your weight evenly in the middle of your foot, evenly on both sides and distributed from front to back. Feel this balanced weight on your feet and allow your feet arches to raise if possible. Once your Mountain is stable and straight: With raised arches, lift all 5 toes of both feet upward, then lower them back down. Repeat this slowly 5-10 times.
