Sivananda Yoga Inclined Plane Variation

The counter-pose to Paschimothanasana is the inclined plane. So I'm going having both these ladies Resa and Sue demonstrating, but they're going to be showing two different versions. Sue's going to have her fingers pointing back, and Resa's going to be having her fingers pointing forward because that's accessible to her at this time. So first just go ahead and drop your arms down to the sides. Let's take a nice breath, centering breath. Inhale, arms up. Exhaling, hard center. Release the arms behind you. Sue, fingers pointing back. Resa, fingers pointing forward. Take a nice inhale, lift through the heart, straighten those arms. Exhaling. Lifting the hips up. Beautiful. Now you can drop the head back if it's comfortable, or keep the head looking straight forward. Now notice how they're reaching their toes towards the ground. Reaching the toes toward the ground. Hips lift. Beautiful pose. It is the counter-pose to Paschimothanasana. Both of you take a nice deep breath, exhale, slowly lower it down. Arms down to your sides. Let's take the breath. Inhaling up, exhaling hard center.
