Guest guest Posted December 8, 2000 Report Share Posted December 8, 2000 I have a suggestion but it isn't part of the primary series but here goes.<br><br> LAY ON YOUR STOMACH with a belt handy with the largest loop you can make. Bend your knees and put the belt around the ankles, feet flexed.<br><br> Next take the strap up into your hands with arms overhead not behind you. This may be awkward to get and make sure your strap is large enough. The goal is to pull on the strap with arms STRAIGHT overhead lifting the chest and knees. Do not bend at the elbows. This opens the armpits. While in the pose, press your thoraic spine between your shoulderblades and lift the chest. Relax the head. The work is in the upper body not in bending the lower back. Keep the pubic bone pressing hard into the floor.<br><br> Hope this helps. It made upward bow much easier for a friend. <br><br>Good luck,<br>Yeshe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
