Exploring the therapeutic effects of yoga and its ability to increase quality of life. Come out of Shoulderstand by bringing your feet back over your head to come through Plow pose, rolling out from Plow slowly.(If you don't use blankets or other supports, do not bring your body fully vertical.) Move your hips toward the front of the room and your feet toward the back of the room to straighten the body. This helps you get into the correct alignment, which is the hips over the shoulders and feet over the hips.Feel the chest reaching toward the chin to support opening the upper back. Lift up through the balls of your feet, walking your hands further up the back for more stability.Instead, keep your gaze upward and your neck straight. Once you raise the legs, don't turn your head to the side to look around the room as this can injure your neck. Bend at the elbows, place your hands on your low back (creating a shelf), then extend the next leg up.Press firmly into the palms, using them as leverage to lift onto the balls of the feet and extend one leg up.Lift your hips off the mat coming into Bridge pose and extend your arms onto the ground, palms facing down as if your hands could touch your heels.With legs bent and feet on the floor (as if setting up for Bridge pose), begin to walk your shoulders underneath your upper back, feeling the chest rise gently.

Lay down on your yoga mat, aligning your body with the blankets as suggested above.
