Lesson 2 | Learning the Running Pose

Getting comfortable standing in pose is the foundation of your practice. Your goal is to easily be able to hold this position for up to 60 seconds/leg.

1. Stand in neutral position (barefoot if possible)
2. Slide the ankle bone up the inside of the standing leg, insert at the base of the knee. Make sure femur points down, ankle is under hip. Keep ankle and foot relaxed.
3. Check that knee stays bent on standing leg.
   1. Check your alignment, ears over shoulders over hips over ankles with knee bent on standing leg.
   2. Challenge yourself by closing your eyes, standing on different surfaces or just increasing the time spent holding position.
   3. This position is often referred to as ‘Figure 4’ from the hip down you should look like the #4.
