Beginner Yoga Challenge: Thread The Needle Pose

Performed by Marin Jayden

Benefits of the Thread The Needle Pose: This pose sends fresh blood to the upper half of your body and detoxifies your skin. It slightly compresses and works the muscles in the chest, which normally are neglected.

Start in tabletop position with your hands and knees on the mat in line with your shoulders and hips.
Move your right hand forward and outward a couple inches.
Rotate your chest and look toward your right hand.
Slowly lower your left arm to the floor and let the side of your skull rest there as well.
Hold and breathe slowly to release any tension.

Modifications: For a deeper pose, cross your right arm over your lower back. Push your right palm into your upper left leg and hook your fingers around your inner thighs.
