We're going to become a Hare in Hare Pose. Hares look like large bunnies and teach us to leap and hop over obstacles in our path. Sit on knees with palms on thighs. Lift arms above head. Bend forward from hips, keeping arms and head in a straight line. Hands and forehead rest on floor in front of knees. Bend elbows so arms are relaxed. Twitch your nose like a Hare. Hare have huge ears. Hear the silence in the room.

Hip opener. Hop over

Blanket under knees.

Knee or ankle injuries. Back pain.
