F 73 C Tuck Balance EN

From a standing position, bend the knees and place the hands onto the floor, allowing for the upper spine to flex and the head to dangle down.

Come up high to the tiptoes and allow for the knees to walk in close to the back of the triceps here, bending the elbows a little bit more so that you feel that the shin kind of is sort of placed on the shelf of the tricep as you come forward.

Now keep the feet on the floor here for a second and allow for the head to relax and dangle.

The most important part here is not lifting the feet, which is what we’ll eventually do once we’ve recruited the strength and the balance to be able to do this, but much more about maintaining this C shape with the shoulders drawing back down towards the hips, staying very active.

And the arms also hug into the side of the body at the same time.

So as the arms hug in and the knees and the top of the shin are into the back of the triceps, you can start moving forward by lifting one foot at a time into the balance.

If you’re not able to balance completely, it’s absolutely fine to keep one tiptoe down on the floor all the time, just lifting one foot and then changing to lift the other foot.

And playing around like that for a while and even ongoing in the practice until you feel confident enough to lift both feet and hold the balance.

Another very important thing here is not to lift the neck up and look forward or down.

Try to keep the neck completely relaxed and if you’re looking for a focal point rather than moving the head up and looking down to the floor gaze more towards the forehead and down to the floor so you don’t have to crook the neck up.

We’re trying to prevent any unnecessary stress to go into the neck here.

To release slowly Allow the feet to lower down to the floor and come on back up in a rolling position up to standing shoulders drawing down on the way up
