Ardha Kurmasana, Half- Tortoise Pose

Steps:

• Stand tall seated on your knees.
• Cross your thumbs.
• Keeping a flat back and your torso aligned with your arms, slowly begin to dive forward.
• Reach your arms out and land with your “pinkie” fingers supporting the pose. If possible, try to keep your elbows off the ground.

Half- Tortoise pose is a relaxed pose that it wasn’t difficult to do, for doing the pose the most important point is to control the breath and relaxed, we don’t need to use the energy with it. I very like the position of the feet that during the pose I cant strongly feel the stress but when we relaxed, the blood all flow back that feel really good. During the pose Mrs. Alicia will press on our shoulder help us to relax the shoulder, after the pose the only words I can use to describe is RELAXED, feels like all the pressures are disappear.
