Kukkutasana

As you return to face the front of your mat after the rolls from Garbha Pindasana, inhale up to a seat and press into your hands either inside your legs (if in lotus with the thread through) or just outside your hips on the mat or on blocks for Kukkutasana, Rooster Pose. Lean forward, engage your lats, and lift up your glutes and legs, or whatever you can. Draw the crown of your head up, pull your abs in and up, draw your shoulder blades down your back and gaze at your nose. Take five breaths. Release your hands if through your legs, keep your lotus if you have it, and vinyasa in whatever way is appropriate for your body. This pose strengthens your shoulders, abdominals, and back muscles as it opens your hips and helps with digestion.
