yohm's Pose of the Month - Coming Out

Coming out of the pose is just as essential to the pose as going in. Caution and care must be taken at all times to protect and preserve the body.

CAUTION: Injuries caused from unsafe Yoga practice increased by more than 40% in 2004. Book a yohm Yoga Technician and enjoy a safe and beneficial practice every time.

1. Lower the feet to a 45-degree angle over the head (Similar to the shape of a 'Nike' tick).

2. Place the hands back down on the floor behind the back, beside the body, palms flat. You are going to use your hands and forearms as 'brakes' to lower the body.

3. Keeping the head on the ground at all times, use the hands and fore arms (your brakes) to lower the body vertebrae by vertebrae until the full back is safely back down onto your mat once more. Engage the abdominal's all the while to avoid lifting the head as you slowly come down.

4. Finally the legs are lowered to the floor using the abdominal muscles again.

When the body is completely and safely back on your mat, relax in ‘Savasana’ before coming into a counter pose such as ‘The Fish’ other wise known as ‘Matsyasana’ OR gently massage the spine as you roll the tail bone in small circular motions, with your knees held in toward your chest and your entire back in contact with the floor.

The shoulder stand is an inverted posture and is therefore ill advised during menstruation and pregnancy. Inverted postures reverse the blood flow defeating the gravity of the body attempting to cleanse itself during a ‘period’. Inverted postures are incredibly beneficial at all other times.

If pregnant half shoulder stand is recommended as opposed to full. Please consult your yohm technician or email yohm for instruction.
