Bowspring Pose Breakdown--Side Chair to One Arm One Leg Balance
In this Bowspring Pose Breakdown I will teach you how to do the intense twist SIDE CHAIR and then move to the amazing ONE ARM ONE LEG BALANCE which is one of my personal favorites! If you can open your belly all the way to the sky and take the leg all the way out to the side from here the pose is called SKY ANGEL (I don't quite get there, but it's close).
Side Chair is one of the best twisting poses that I know, the hips are going one way and the ribs are anchored another.
Once you lift up to One Arm One Leg balance you have the opportunity to experience the lightness of the body as a true TENSEGRITY structure! It looks more difficult, but if you are in alignment, this pose is actually lighter and easier than the SIDE CHAIR! (You must keep the hips and head behind the ribs, the side ribs arching up, and the crown of the head tilted toward the floor).
This yoga practice is done using the Bowspring alignment.
