Firefly Yoga Pose - Tittibhasana
Type of yoga pose: arm balance.
Benefits: this yoga pose allows to strengthen your wrists, forearms and abdomen. It also helps to stretch the hamstrings.
Instructions for doing this yoga pose:
1. At first you need to get into a wide squat.
2. Afterwards you have to put your palms so that they lay flat on the floor and were just under your feet.
3. Then you need to bend your elbows back.
4. Afterwards you should start shifting your weight back and come to be on your upper arms and bring your feet up off the floor.
5. Then you should straighten your legs.
6. Now you are to start to straighten your arms.
A note for beginners: this pose is easier than it is thought to be like most pose of this kind. But there is a great advantage: if you fall down, you'll get on your butt instead of your head as it happens in some other poses! If you can lift the feet off of the floor but cannot straighten your legs, you can try to cross your feet at the ankles in front of yourself.
A note for advanced: you should work on straightening your arms and legs.
