Sit with legs extended in front of you (Dandasana). Imagine a rope hanging in front of your face. The rope goes over a pulley and at the end of the rope there is a bucket that you are going to lift using the rope and pulley. Make a fist with each hand with the thumbs inside. Place fists on knees. Arms straight. One round: On the in-breath, raise right arm straight above head and release the fist. At the top, take hold of the ‘rope’ with right hand and on the out-breath pull down against the weight of the bucket. Repeat with left arm. Follow movement of hand with the gaze.
Stretches triceps, back, abdomen, and thighs.
Use blocks (or folded blanket) to raise hips. If the neck is resistant to tilting up and down, keep the gaze forward.
Lower back injury.
