Locust Pose

Your Daily Routine

As you learn different poses, feel free to switch things up and add different routines into your weekly schedule.

In addition, the more flexible you become, the longer you’ll be able to hold the poses or the more challenging you can make them!

The Locust Pose

Step 1:  Begin by lying on your stomach, chin on the floor and your legs and arms placed alongside your body. Keep your palms facing down.

Step 2:  Pull up your knees, squeezing your buttocks and thighs as you pull and press your pubic bone down to the floor like you did with the cobra pose.

Step 3:  Inhale deeply, lifting your legs, chest, head and arms from the floor.  Reach out, keeping your neck in line with your spine.

Step 4:  Drop your shoulders down, and press your chest forward slowly. Keep your buttocks and legs strong.

Step 5:  Breathe and hold for 2-5 breaths.

Step 6: Release, exhaling slowing, lowering your head, arms, legs and chest to the floor.
