πŸ™ How is your posture when you are sitting? Do your shoulders come forward? Do you look down often at your phone or things that are under your eye level? Inhale. Bring the shoulders down and roll them back. Lift the head up and back. Open up the chest. Open up the throat. This restorative variation of seated Cow (upavishta bitilasana), is great for spinal flexibility and for warming up the core, lower back, chest, head, and neck. It stimulates the organs in the belly. It loosens up the hips and shoulders, improves posture, and also trains one for breath awareness if you incorporate synchronized breathing into your movement. All of these benefits. From one position. Why not make yoga work for you? This position can be done anywhere. You can even sit cross-legged or in a chair. Try not to impose limitations upon yourself because you do not have a mat or you cannot get onto the floor. Make it happen for yourself in any way that you can. There is a high possibility that you are, most likely, looking down to read this right now. So, wherever you are at this moment, take a second to counteract all of those hours of bringing the shoulders forward and the head down. Roll the shoulders down and back and lead with the chest. Lift the chin up towards the sky and lengthen the front of the body. Stay here for a few breaths, whatever feels good. Your mind and your body will thank you for it. πŸ™ #namaskartoyou #yogaoutdoors #asana #restorativeyoga #cowpose #yogaforall
