Sivananda Yoga Wide Leg Sarvangasana (Shoulder-Stand) Variation

Sue here is going to be demonstrating a modification in sirsasana shoulder stand. She's going to come into a nice wide legged shoulder stand. So I'm going to have you go ahead and lay down on your back, arms down to your sides, very slowly and gently lifting the legs up. Lift the hips, support your weight, bringing the elbows as close together as possible. The further the hands can come towards the shoulder, the more stability you will have. And coming into a nice wide leg, dropping the legs off to the sides. Then kind of press through the heels...ahh, beautiful, getting a little hamstring work there, too. And on an inhale, very slowly coming up, find that beautiful shoulder stand, and we're going to show you how to come out of a shoulder stand very slowly. I'm going to have you drop your legs at a 45 degree angle behind you. Drop your arms, yeah a little bit lower, there you go. Now drop your arms down to the floor, palms on the ground, and then very slowly and gently, lowering the hips down as slow as you can. Use those beautiful core muscles and lower the legs all the way down to the floor, and come into savasana, arms up, feet apart.
