HW: Warrior Sequence
Downward Dog Split Crunch
This is a variation on Downward Dog that I absolutely love. It works the core muscles in a fun and challenging way and also helps to stretch your hips and hamstrings.
Begin in downward dog. Take a deep breath in and out, centering yourself.
On the next inhale, raise your right leg straight back and up towards the sky, keeping your hips square to the front of your mat.
Exhale and slowly lower your raised leg and reach it under and towards your right shoulder. Hold it for 2 breaths.
Inhale and reach your right leg back to the sky, taking care to keep your shoulders down away from your ears and spine straight. Exhale and lower your right leg, bend and crunch toward your left shoulder. Hold for 2 breaths.
Inhale, raising your leg back into your split. And exhale lower to the center now, towards your forehead, lowering your chin to your chest. Hold for 2 breaths and release your right leg back into downward dog.
Now repeat with your left leg.
