We're going to continue the sun salutation with Urdhva Mukha Svanasana, upward facing
dog. Here is the place that you can either do upward facing dog, or cobra, Bhujangasana.
Both of them are a back bend, and both of them are going to come from Chaturanga Dandasana,
low plank. So Jennifer's going to go into the version of low plank, with the elbows
going back, still working on core stability, or we can bring ourself down in Chaturanga
Dandasana. Our job is to slide forward on the inhale; lifting into cobra, or you're
going to lift the quads off of the earth into up dog. You're going to begin to let the shoulders
come out of the ears, keep pressing the feet into the earth strongly. So again, she has
the choice; up dog, creating strength, or she can release her hips down, still working
on the back bend, still working on lengthening. So the flow comes from forward folds to back
bends, to strength, to flexibility, and then pause and enjoy.
