Yoga Criss Cross Tips

Video Transcript

"A criss cross, if you can think of an "X" across the back of the abdominal, is going to work right across the body. Take your legs out, and bring those toes right in towards you. You don't have to touch the toes, but bring them right in towards you. And sit up straight and tall and bring both arms straight right out. You're going to take a deep breath in and reach the left hand over towards the right foot, and then exhale, come right back to the center, and inhale and take the right hand towards the left foot, and then exhale come center. Inhale towards the right, exhale, inhale towards the left, exhale. It's not so much important at first to touch that foot, is to reach because you're connecting with the back muscles. Reach and come back and tuck in those toes right in towards you. Inhale and exhale, and inhale and exhale, inhale and exhale, and reach. Each time, dig in those heels right in the floor. Inhale and exhale, and inhale and exhale, release."
