Advanced Locust Pose ("Salabhasana")

Description

Lie prone with your legs straight and your feet pressing into the floor, then place both arms in line with your body, either stretched forward or alongside your ears, whichever is more comfortable. As you inhale, simultaneously lift your chest, both arms, and both legs while keeping your pubic bone in contact with the floor, and aim to lengthen your body in both directions, from your fingertips to your feet. Keep your shoulders low and away from your ears, your neck long, and your gaze directed toward the floor. Maintain a calm, steady breath, focusing on lengthening the body rather than on how high you lift.
