Reverse
Namaste (Reverse Prayer Pose)
Stand tall in Tadasana (Mountain Pose),
with your feet parallel, your arms by your sides,
looking straight ahead or within.
Breathe.
Bend your arms and bring your hands to your back,
fingers and palms touching,
if possible, in a reverse prayer.
If too difficult, touch fingers.
If too difficult, clasp hands around
opposite arms or wrists.
(Always do what works for your body -
never force the pose.)
Breathe. Pray. Om.
Hold as long as comfortable (30 seconds, 1 minute, several minutes).
Release.
Lemon
Yoga option:
Hold a lemon in one hand in Tadasana, then between your hands during Reverse
Namaste. (See painting.)
