For this exercise, you’ll need several pillows, bolsters, or cushions.
Arrange yourself with your feet near one another, your knees wide, and the cushions in front of you between your thighs. Drape your front body over the cushions, resting your torso and forehead into these supports and releasing into gravity. It’s important that you’re comfortable, so take the time to get your setup right for your body’s architecture, using different size props and modifying the drape as necessary.
Allow yourself to soften into this curled-up shape. With the front body supported, how much awareness can you bring to your back body, allowing it to open into expansive breath movement?
Stay as long as you’d like. When you’re ready, use your arms to push yourself to a seated position.
Take a few moments at the end of the exercise to notice any shifts in your energy, breath, or body awareness. Try to take this awareness with you into the next thing you do.
