Pose of the Month: Airplane

Start the Airplane post by standing. Find a focus point on the floor to look at and use to help you in keeping balanced.

Open the arms out to the sides and slowly fold the body forward, at the same time lifting one leg up into the air.

Palms should face the floor and the toes of the lifted leg point toward the floor. Try to keep the neck aligned with the spine. Your aiming for a straight line from head to heel of the lifted leg. Keep looking at your focus point, breathe and hold for 20-30 seconds. Then switch legs.

When you practice see if you can build on the length of time you hold the leg in the air.
