Standing Day • Trikonasana & Vib
Trikonasana & Vib
This practice will both strengthen and lengthen the your legs so that they bear the weight of your upper body.
When our leg muscles are tight, we will have difficulty accessing the base of the spine. This prevents us from having an upright posture. We start to hold ourselves from higher in the body, showing up as a heaviness in the shoulder girdle (rounded shoulders, hunched back, chest collapsed & forward head). This requires a lot of effort and is unsustainable over time.
