Tips for Star Pose Yoga
Imagine your fingertips wildly moving away from the other hand, toward opposite walls. Imagine your fingertips pushing apart to intentionally elongate your muscles and limbs, completing the position.
Tuck tailbone. hiding your tailbone will help align your spine and pelvis. This will align your spine and position you for maximum benefit from this pose.
Relax your shoulders. Although your arms are working in this stance, relax your shoulders and move them away from your ears.
Modifications & Variations
If you’re new to yoga and Pilates, attempt the posture with your back against the wall. Your heels, buttocks, and shoulders should touch the wall (a tiny lower back curve is normal).
Your head shouldn’t touch the wall, but your ears should match your shoulders.
Choose where to lay your arms and hands. For calmer pose, place your palms together in front of your heart in prayer.
If you wish to open your chest more, raise your palms. Hands on hips provide support and anchoring.
Safety Precautions
If you have headaches, trouble sleeping, low blood pressure, or feel lightheaded or dizzy, you shouldn’t do Star Pose.
Always do what you can and what you’re allowed to do. Talk to your doctor before doing yoga if you are worried about your health. [2]
