The quest for a happy body is a search for the balance of flexion and extension. This exercise offers a lot of information about your bodies imbalances. One stage is usually a lot easier than the other.
They should both be equally easy.
Ankles and Toes 1st stage-
- Point your feet bringing the heels as close together as possible. You can belt the ankles together to make it more exact.
- The idea is to get the heels to be inside of the sit bones so they can spread slightly opening the space of the pelvic floor.
- Sit up as tall as possible. Don’t suffer. If this seems impossible, either come into it and out of it repeatedly or put a blanket between your calves and hamstrings to cushion the intensity.
- Spread the toes open as much as possible, trying to touch all toes to the floor. Spread your effort evenly between the inner and outer foot.
2nd stage-
- Tuck your toes under and sit up on your heels.
- Try to stretch the toes so much that the ball of the foot touches the floor.
- If it is too intense come in and out of the pose as often as needed.
