In mountain, big toes down, feel weight in toes and outside of foot. neutral pelvis and engagement of hips. shoulder blades together, and 'tuck down to blue jean pockets'.
arms lift, gaze is up, shoulders rotate so pinkies come together at the top (saves shoulders from arthritis, as she says :))
fold forward, hands *next* to feet (I was putting them in front... which made me have to step forward in down-dog-- a simple but awesome fix!) If enough hamstring flexibility, keep hands down during the 'peak up'.
Jump back, *land low* (also new to me, saves back as elbows act like a spring and absorbs shock)
press into toes to come into updog, and bend elbows slightly. shoulders are back.
after downdog and if jumping to front of the mat, jump up as high as if your'e going to do a handstand, then tuck and land. :)
