Posture Description:

To start, come sitting comfortably on the ground, ideally in 'sukhasan' easy pose. If this
is not easy for you, put a folded blanket or lift under you hips, or sit on a chair with your feet
flat on the ground, spine straight.


Locate your navel, it is about 1-2 inches below your belly button, this is where you want
the movement to start from.  Bring your hands on you shins, or if on a chair, your thighs.
Draw your navel back towards the spine as you exhale, rocking back off the sit bones,
stretching back.  On the inhale, use your navel to rock up onto the the sit bones, anchor your pelvis, and keep your lower back elongated and stable. 

Use the Mula Bandh to dynamically root your sit bones to the floor so your chest can naturally rise up and expand with the forward flex.  As the chest rises and the breath expands the ribcage, the flex takes you into Jalandar bandh(neck lock), the back of your neck elongates, chin draws back slightly.

 

The scapulla draw slightly down and back, feeling like two hands pushing the heart upward from the back. Your head stays level, floating in a vertical alignment with your pelvis.

Use your arms to guide your spine into the forward flex position.
The lower abdominals (navel point) are dynamically being used both directions, on the inhale they are rooting down, allowing the lower back to not over arch and supporting the ribcage lifting and expanding, on the exhale the navel is drawing back towards the spine.

Head and neck can stay relaxed because ideally the head is being balanced by the heart, which is supported by the navel, so you don't have to tighten the neck.

Lead the movement from your navel not your head.
