Yoga Teaser Pose

Video Transcript

"In the Teaser, it's great for abdominal muscles; it's going to lengthen the buttock and the thigh muscles and for your lower back. You take your feet down towards the front part of your mat, like 8, 10 inches apart, and point the toes away from you, and reach the hands out towards the toes, but release the shoulders. At this point here, you're going to lift yourself up on your tail bone with a straight leg and straight arm. And now you want to focus on the breath, breathing deep through your nose. And exhale. Another deep breath in. Exhale. Another deep breath in. Exhale. Now you can lift those legs, lift those arms if you can, a little bit higher, breathing deep through your nose. And exhale. And another deep breath in. Exhale. You can keep it down lower. You can lift it up higher. But you engage the abdominal muscle, and lengthen with fingers and lengthen with toes. Sometimes people hold on to their legs to hold the stability of it, but if you can, leave your hands free, breathing deep through your nose. And exhale. Another deep breath in, and exhale. Release, lay down, and bring the knees right in towards you. And release."
