week 6 Standing 2

Some ideas to increase or alternate the work given in week 2.

To stretch the toes with our kneeling toe stretch, holding for 3-4 breaths, release and then repeat.  Dog pose will help to release leg muscles and can also be used to work the toes.  Lengthen the back of the legs one at a time, making the movements slow and controlled and taking the heel as close to the floor as is comfortable for you.  Lengthen and release a few times, then take both heels as close to the mat as is right for you.  Keep the back long and the imaginary tail lifted upwards, lifting up and away from the hands.
