Hot Yoga Tips (Standing Bow Pulling)
Standing Bow Pulling Pose
Standing Bow Pulling pose is the most iconic posture in the Hot Yoga series, same locking the knee mechanism applies as Standing Head to Knee pose
As shown in the pictures above and below, Standing Bow is simultaneously a backbend and a twist, both have to happen at the same time for the front shoulder to touch the chin
Similar to Standing Head to Knee, focus on the knee in the front mirror, making sure it is absolutely locked throughout the entire posture
Special note about the grip:
Follow the 3 steps for a correct grip every time
Step 1. Palm to the front then to the side, elbow inside with the palm facing up
Step 2. Straighten the right arm without turning the arm or wrist
Step 3. Without turning the arm or wrist, pick up the right foot from the inside, at the ankle
