Halfway Lift

A breath of spinal length between Forward Fold and the next shape. Spine long, parallel to the floor.

The lesson

  1. 01

    Lift halfway out of a fold

    From a forward fold, raise your torso until your spine is long and roughly parallel to the floor.

  2. 02

    Hands wherever the spine stays long

    Fingertips on the floor, your shins or your thighs, bending your knees as much as you need. If your upper back is rounding, bring your hands higher up your legs.

  3. 03

    Gaze just past your toes

    Shoulders drawing down your back, neck in line with your spine. Don't lift your chin toward the front of the room.
