Exercise Description:
Yoga: Half boat with block
Classification:
Yoga
Instruction:
Begin by sitting on the floor, knees bent. Place the block lengthways between the knees. Inhale and extend the arms forward and slowly lean backwards. Do not allow the spine to round, keep lifting the chest bone and pulling the navel in towards the spine lifting the pelvic floor muscles. Only if the back can maintain straight, lift the feet up off the floor, keeping the knees bent and shift the weight onto the posterior ischium tuberosity/sitting bones. Gently squeeze the knees in towards the blocks and keep the chest bone lifted. Maintain this pose for 5 to 10 deep breaths.
