🏹 When practicing the Standing Bow Pose, Dandayamana Dhanurasana, focus on aligning your shoulders from front to back. You can achieve this by twisting through the thoracic cavity and lifting from the rib cage. If both the thoracic and abdominal cavities are facing the floor while twisting the shoulders to align, it can cause the hips to twist, leading to a loss of balance. Instead, concentrate on creating depth through the solar plexus, ensuring the abdomen remains parallel to the floor while the chest stays facing forward. This way, you can twist the rib cage without altering your hip alignment. Give it a try and share your experience in the comments below!
