Just as your thoughts determine the direction of your day, the yoga skills that you practice determine the physical outcomes that you want to achieve.
Dolphin Pose is a great way to build core strength and strengthen your shoulders. Core is important not only for arm balances and inversions but also for:
• Strengthening and protecting your back
• Flattening your stomach
• Having good posture
• Improving your ability to do everyday activities safely and without pain
Start in downward dog. Lower onto your forearms and interlace your fingers. Bring your big toes together to touch. Now walk your toes in toward your arms as far as you can, keeping straight legs (heels can lift from floor). Finally, shift your torso forward so that your nose is over your thumbs. Look at your thumbs and keep your breathe steady in through the nose out through the nose 6-8 breaths. Rest in child's pose before repeating.
