HW: Forearm Balance
Dolphin Pose is a standing, mild inversion posture. It helps in working the various muscles in the shoulders, abdomen and the upper back and is also a great way to open up the shoulders while strengthening the arms, legs as well as the core body. It helps in stretching the shoulders, chest, spine, arches, hamstrings and calves.The best time to perform this pose is early in the morning so that you can stay relaxed and revitalized throughout the day.
Steps :
Get on your hands and knees keeping your knees directly below the hips and your hands below your shoulders.
Press the arms and palms firmly into the ground.
Curl your toes under and push back through your hands to lift your hips and straighten your legs.
Press your forearms into the ground and firm the shoulder blades while facing downwards.
Hold this posture for a few breaths
Be cautious if you have any shoulder or neck injuries. If you do, you may keep your knees bent when practicing this pose.
Try walking your feet towards the elbows while in the v-like posture. This helps in building good shoulder and arm strength.
