Well this is more playing around than anything else. I explore some intestinal cleansing techniques (shank prank shalana) and after exploring these I've become more interested in exploring pressure and space in my belly.

The arm balance at the end is more fun than anything else. But it is interesting to see how the various abdominal yoga tools you use help to stabilises the core and create a sense of lightness in the body.

The Astanga Finishing sequence uses a combination of inversions, restorative postures and energising releases to consolidate a strong practice.

I've found bringing the use of basic abdominal lifting into the sequence helps release and tension in my lower back. I think having a strong mid section and core is just one of the componenets to a happy spine. I think it's often just having aware of your body in space that contributes some of the best releaf from aches and pains.

It's the subtle awareness to shift our spine and correct ourselves automatically that helps with long term healthy posture. you don't need to be super strong.

Down dog upward flying lock, so for those who get confused when your teacher instructs you to: "lift your naval" in Down Dog, this is for you. It's best to learn abdominal control and awareness through Uddiyana Bandha (see my earlier videos).

Once you have developed some control over the abdomen you can start bring this into your practice and Down Dog is an excellent starting point. The gentle lifting of the naval helps to stabilise the lower back and direct the breath into areas of the body that may need support - including the lower back and pelvic floor.

I just feel lighter and taller when I bring this into my practice. I suggest you try it out in your next class.

Where do you practice abdominal awareness?

Uddiyana Bandha (upward flying lock) and abdominal pumping. This would be the second stage to a Uddiyana practice, isolating different areas of the abdominal muscles to gain control and body awareness.

Funnily enough this was one of the classic body building postures to demonstrate control over the re**us abdominus (6 pack).
