Yoga Pose of the Week: Cobra Pose


To commemorate the journey through the improbable tunnel between the UN and New Jersey, cobra pose. This beautifully executed version of "low cobra" also shows the lead in through "knees/chest/chin." Notice how the front and back of the yoga student's neck are equally long, and and how the tops of her armbones are moving towards the back plane of her body. That's alignment.

(And that's some of the alignment that is missing from the President's Cabinet! I hope that Ethan will turn out to be faking his heart issues, and come back kicking -- or maybe Evil -- next episode.)

Signing off.
