Mountain

The neutral standing shape that opens and closes every salutation. Feet under hips, spine long, weight even.

The lesson

  1. 01

    Stand and spread the weight

    Feet together or hip-width, whichever is steadier. Weight even across both heels and both balls of the feet, knees soft rather than locked.

  2. 02

    Long from tailbone to crown

    Tailbone heavy, the top of your head reaching up, ribs over hips, shoulders rolled back and down. This is where you find your breath before the next round.
