Hot Yoga Tip (Sit-up)
Exact sequence to perform Sit Up correctly:
-
From Savasana, bring the arms up over head and cross the thumbs
-
Feet together, toes and heels touched, flexing the feet towards your face, heels touching the floor
-
Take a deep breath
-
Sit up at the end of the inhalation and grab the toes with full lungs
-
Exhale strongly twice through the mouth and bring forehead to the knee twice
Special note on Sit Up:
Your spine should be rounded on your way up, do not do Sit Up with a straight spine
The grip should be with middle and index fingers
During the “double exhale”, if your forehead can touch the knee, allow your head to bounce up a bit before the second exhale which should be even stronger than the first one.
