Tips:

  • Entry, pose and exit ARE this pose. Take extra effort to create precision to benefit more greatly
  • Only bring your hands into prayer pose IF you are 100% sure you have a) excellent hip alignment and b) you have best spinal compression (rounding)

Check that you:

  • Constantly check into hip alignment for best results
  • Round down into the pose – no “diving”!
  • You have your spine as rounded as possible even when your hands move into prayer pose
