This exercise is intended to strengthen postural muscles of the spine
To
do this exercise you
will need a mat. Start by lying on your back with your legs lengthened
long beneath you. Inhale to prepare and then exhale as you pull your
belly to your spine and begin sliding your shoulder blades away from your ears,
and then inhale as you lift your arms, head, neck, and shoulders away from the
ground. Repeat 8-10 times.
Things
to think about
This
exercise is strengthening the upper back. If you only feel muscles in
your low back working, then it is time to start thinking about axial
lengthen. Be sure to reach your head away from your tail as you extend
the spine. Extension should make the spine longer not shorter.
Imagine
having wide collarbones during this exercise. Not only does the dart
strengthen postural muscles of the spine, it also provides a great environment
for opening the chest
