Photo Hunter: Curvy
In Yoga, this is called the ‘Wheel Pose’ also known as ‘Upward Bow’.Follow the step-by-step S.L.OW.L.Y and remember to breath.
- Lie flat on your back on the yoga mat.
- While exhaling, bend the knees and bring the feet as close to the buttocks as possible with the soles of the feet on the floor.
- Bend the arms at the elbows and place the palms of the hands flat on the floor directly under each shoulder with the fingers pointing toward the back.
- While inhaling slowly, raise your head and rest your crown on the floor. I find that this is very helpful before pushing my hands, back and lastly, the buttocks off the floor while arching the spine.
Ah…. there you go. A very curvy body posture there. Lovely!

Lovely curve! 🙂 My mom has never been able to do that move in yoga – she has very inflexible joints, despite years of yoga practice – it’s just the way she’s built.
My curvy photos.

If I did that, I’d break something,.. too old to start moving like that. Great photo, and I am impressed. Have a good weekend.
