Hiatus
I’m putting this blog on hiatus for awhile until further notice. I do apologize for those of you who were excited about this community and watched it dwindle. At times we start projects in our lives, and unfortunately, shortly thereafter things happen that we can not stop or control. After I began this community, certain personal things started piling on top of me one at a time and it became too overwhelming to balance this with everything else. I think each one of you are beautiful, and I thank you so much for doing what you could to help keep this alive. You’re spirits are darling. But for right now, I’m just going to be on my personal blog here. I will keep this page up for those who stumble across it, and I will let everyone know when I return. Goodbye for now family.

Lie on your back on the floor with your knees bent, feet on the floor. Inhale, lift your pelvis slightly off the floor, and slide your hands, palms down, below your buttocks. Then rest your buttocks on the backs of your hands (and don’t lift them off your hands as you perform this pose). Be sure to tuck your forearms and elbows up close to the sides of your torso.
Inhale and press your forearms and elbows firmly against the floor. Next press your scapulas into your back and, with an inhale, lift your upper torso and head away from the floor. Then release your head back onto the floor. Depending on how high you arch your back and lift your chest, either the back of your head or its crown will rest on the floor. There should be a minimal amount of weight on your head to avoid crunching your neck. (For more about this, see the Beginners Tip below.)
You can keep your knees bent or straighten your legs out onto the floor. If you do the latter, keep your thighs active, and press out through the heels.
Stay for 15 to 30 seconds, breathing smoothly. With an exhalation lower your torso and head to the floor. Draw your thighs up into your belly and squeeze.
