Video Transcript

"The second pose in our asana series for overcoming insomnia is cow pose. To come into this pose, I like to start from heros pose. You are going to place your hands under your shoulders and adjust your knees to where they are just underneath your hips. You are going to try to keep a straight line from the crown of your head through your sitz bones (so, come into table top) and cow happens when you spin the sitz bones up toward the ceiling, drop the belly and gently raise the heart. You are going to gently arch the spine. Notice, I'm not jocking my neck up like that. I'm just raising my gaze and lifting the heart. Spinning those sitz bones up to the ceiling and dropping the belly down. As I exhale, I'm going to come back to my table top. Inhaling and exhaling. Try a few repetitions. Anywhere from five (5) to ten (10) and see how you feel."
