Pose 4 - Swing Pose

To finish the knee-ear pose, one must do the reversal of it by standing with legs slightly apart and knees bent, hands on the kidney area while leaning backwards as far as one can comfortably go without falling over.

The head must be thrown backwards as far as it will go so you can stretch the neck area. Hold that position steadily and quietly as long as you are comfortable.

Then while keeping your hands in that position, first learn forward, then go back again, the rotate the upper body in a full circular motion to the left, then to the right, three times each way.

This pose is an immediate counter pose to the knee-ear pose and works on the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine.

Visualize light where the tension is greatest.

Now, Do It.
