Yoga Practice:

Pike Pose

Begin seated or standing in Mountain Pose.

On an inhale lift the arms up alongside the ears

On an exhale begin to fold forward into your seated or standing forward fold.

On an inhale lift the spine parallel to the floor in a ½ forward bend.

On an exhale lengthen the spine back down to your seated or standing forward bend.

Your arms can hang toward your feet so that the shoulders are relaxed.

To come out of the pose, bend your knees a bit more and roll up though your back until you reach Mountain Pose again.
