Breakdown: Vajrasana/ Standing on Knees to Child's Pose

Vajrasana one of my favorite poses- so Yay for Me!

This is an awesome pose to practice and master many aspects
that you can apply to your other poses.

Linking your breath & movement in this pose can have many effects.
Learn to envelop your movement in your breath right here.
Then include that practiced envelope breath with other postures.

You can make the movement in and out of this pose more meditation-al or calming
by lengthening your breath- really focusing on your envelope breathing.
***
You can also make the movement in and out of this pose more energetic
by still using envelope breath but
by focusing on feeling length in the spine on each inhale.

Letting your breath lead you in & out of poses is another
great lesson practicing this pose over & over will teach.
As you inhale- let your rib cage (your heart) lift.
As you exhale- pull your belly in tight- creating stability and grounding you
as you float back to your child's pose.
Then start adding that to your standing poses- see if YOU notice a difference...

As always- honor YOUR body-
Always work in a pain-free range of motion!

Rock YOUR practice!
