Tiger Yoga Pose
On all fours, sweep one leg back and up as the chest lifts, then draw that knee in toward the nose as the back rounds.
How to do it
Setup
On hands and knees, hands under the shoulders, knees under the hips, back flat.
Steps
- Reach one leg back and up, lifting the chest and the gaze.
- Draw that knee in toward the nose, rounding the back and dropping the head.
- Flow between the two for the set, then switch legs.
Common mistakes
Kicking the leg high with a hard arch in the lower back: reach it back long, no higher than the hips allow. Rushing the flow: move with the breath. Shifting the weight off one hand: keep both hands pressing evenly.
Breathing
Inhale reaching the leg back, exhale drawing the knee in.
