Playing with "Dogs" and "Children?!"

Begin in Downward Facing Dog

Extend one leg for a Three Legged Dog

See in your mind, then make it happen:  (1) Swing the leg through and place the foot forward for a Warrior 1  (2) Squeeze the tummy tight, your tummy is hooked into the grounded feet and lift (3) You. Are. There!  Relax your shoulders, put a smile on your face.

Reach the arms behind your back to stretch open the chest!  If your hands don't meet for a clasp, spread the fingers strongly and reach back.

 Lean forward to Humble the Warrior 1

Release the arms, heel toe the foot so the hands are now on the inside of the foot.  Lean on the outer edge of the foot and Rock the Lizard gently back and forth, back and forth.

Bring the feet together, take the knees wide and rest in Child's Pose.  Breathe and rest.  Repeat the sequence on the opposite side.  Thank you to Kelly Branning for sharing this fun with me so I can share with others!
