Seated Forward Bend /PASCHIMOTTANASANA (Dynamic)

From Static Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana) allow the body to move with the breath:

Inhale

The elbows and wrists straighten and lengthen, the top of the head rises toward the ceiling, the eyes, face, heart, and navel draw toward the tops of the feet, and the bones of the legs sink into the floor.

Exhale

The elbows and wrists soften and sink toward the floor, the shoulder blades separate, the face drops towards the knees and the top of the head lengthens toward the tops of the feet. Relax the face and the tongue inside the mouth.

*Repeat 5-10 times with long deep breathing.

  • have a sense of disconnect from your body and/or you can’t seem to slow down
  • have a sense of disconnect from the Earth or people and feel as if you are “hovering “ above your life and your body
  • have difficulty manifesting and materializing your life as you dream it to be
  • have a chronic lack of financial or physical resources
  • feel attacked, unsafe, or “on the run” in some way
  • have “issues” with your bones, legs. knees, feet, or adrenal glands
