Corpse
|
|
Distribute your weight evenly, allowing your hands,
shoulder blades, pelvis, hips, all symmetrically
contact the ground. Feel the sense of your natural
curves, noting where you naturally contact the ground
and where you naturally don’t. Those with low back
pain frequently are unable to have the low back
contact the ground.
Rest and observe for a minimum of 2
minutes
