Suck in your Low Belly

Sucking in your low belly helps with every forward fold. It stabilizes the core and is what helps you bring your fold a little deeper.

Ashtanga ABCs Day 22 {Suck in Your Low Belly}

Challenge Pose: Baddha Konasana B

Bring the feet together. Hold the outsides of the feet with your hands, opening the feet like a book and pressing the thumbs into the sole of the foot beneath the big toe joint.

There are two versions of this pose. In A, fold long reaching the chin toward the floor, and in B, round your back bringing your head to your feet. In both folds, strongly suck in your low belly.
