Chair Pose on Tiptoes

Description

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, then rise onto the balls of your feet. Bend your knees and shift your pelvis back, lowering yourself as far as your control allows. Distribute your body weight over the balls of your feet, keeping them engaged and firmly planted, and lean your trunk slightly forward, keeping length in your spine. Leave your arms in front of you or raise them overhead while externally rotating your shoulders, as high as your range allows. Keep your knees tracking in the direction of your toes, your neck long, and your gaze forward or slightly toward the floor. Keep your breathing calm, aiming for stability, control, and engagement.
