Welcome to Day 18! Yoga is a spiritual journey that begins as a physical practice. When you get into backbends you will have to be brave enough to truly open your heart. Today's practice is build on Dhanurasana, Bow Pose. The basic technique, like all backbends, is to create and maximize the space between the vertebrae and lift the ribs away from the hips. Roll the shoulders forward and avoid pinching the shoulder blades together. Engage the legs and use the power of the quads to lift the thighs off the ground. Keep at least the bases of the big toes touching. Finally, use a nutation of the sacrum to tip the hips back and facilitate entry into the pose. Gaze at the nose.

We designed this month’s challenge to be the perfect introduction to yoga, just like a 30 Day Yoga Course, but we want ALL levels to join and share their practice. This is the same challenge as last year so it's perfect for those who participated to see how far you've come!
