Yoga: Spinal lift half bridge hands yoga mutra with strap

Yoga

Instruction:
Begin in a seated position, place the strap to the outside of the lower legs. Tighten the strap so the knees are in alignment with the hips and the ankles are underneath the knees. Slowly lower yourself onto your back and place the arms at a 45-degree angle palms facing down. Keep the heels close towards the buttocks muscles and the feet in a gentle pigeon toe position. Contract the abdominals, lift the pelvic floor muscles and drop the shoulders down away from the ears gently tucking the chin in. Inhale and slowly lift the hips up towards the sky pressing firmly down through the palms. Rest the weight across the shoulders, don't press the neck into the floor. Press down through all four corners of the feet and gently squeeze the glutes together to support the lower back. Keep lifting the hips higher than the chest and remain here for 5 to 10 deep breaths. Start to move the hands in towards each other and interlock the fingers behind the back in yoga mutra. Lock the shoulders in towards each other to place the weight across the shoulders and not on the neck.
