Yoga Back Bends & Balancing Poses - Yoga camel pose

Camel, Ustrasana; another backbend in this series. We're going to start yourself off
in Vadrasana, but we're going to use the inhale to lift up into your knees. And then we want
to take the time to make sure that the feet; the ankles are aligned with your hips; knees
and hips. It's not uncommon to see your feet being splayed out or splayed in. You want
to take the time to do that. And the strength is going to come from the tops of her shins
and the tops of her feet. So as we inhale we're going to lift up; create that strength.
We're going to use the inhale to lift the right arm up and lengthen that right side.
Then the exhale is going to invite that right hand to the top of your foot, or a block.
Same thing, we're going to inhale the left side. We need to gain the length in the side
so that we can bring the foot back or the hand back down. Now I need you to lift the
sternum, lift the heart up to the sky, draw your shoulder blades together and breathe.
