I am going to begin a series of posts called “Let’s Break It Down” (LBID). I am going to pick some popular poses and give you all the information that you need to know about the pose all in one place. I will include the following in each post:

• Benefits of the pose
• Step by step instructions on how to get into the pose with proper alignment
• Modifications

Key Terms

I will use some phrases or terms while describing poses so I will list those here and you can refer back to them as needed.

• Magic button: on the palm side of your hand this is the pointer finger where it connects to the palm of your hand
• Heart space: the middle of your chest where your heart is

Enjoy

I hope you enjoy learning some more in depth information on different poses and feel confident when doing them during your practice. If you are unsure about any of the poses and would like to chat one on one with me, leave a comment below or contact me and I will get back to you. Also as we are going if there are any poses you would like to see in a future post please let me know.
