Day SEVEN
of the #EveryBodyYoga Challenge
Day #7 - Dolphin Pose
Dolphin Pose is another one of my favorite poses, I didn't admit it yesterday but downward dog (yesterday's pose) is actually one of my least favorites, I find this pose to offer just as good of a stretch, yet I feel so much more comfortable in it... I eventually hope to be able to get into this pose a little deeper. Until then, I'm happy just practicing it and embracing the moment. Dolphin pose calms the mind, relieves stress and mild depression, energizes the body, strengthens arms and legs, stretches upper and lower body, and relieves headaches, back pain, and fatigue according to experts.
This is a pretty easy pose to get into but here's a few pointers, just in case; from hands and knees, bring your forearms to the ground, elbows right under your shoulders, hands directly forward of your elbows. Tuck toes and lift hips and belly straight up, forming a high V-shape.
Practicing Yoga in the hot Florida heat at the park has to be one of my favorite reasons to live where I do... It's hot yoga everyday! Ha. I'm so happy to see so many of you taking photos and sharing your experiences! Yoga is for every body and all of you are truly embracing that! New yoga lovers and experienced yogis alike, I'm so proud of you for completing week one! I can't wait to see your pictures for week two!
Namaste.
