Also called Sasangasana
Technique
How to perform Rabbit Pose
- Kneel and hold the heels or ankles while folding the torso forward.
- Tuck the chin gently and round the upper back as the hips rise a short distance from the heels.
- Keep most weight through the knees and use the heel hold to control the lift, allowing only light contact through the crown of the head without pulling the neck toward the floor.
- Lower the hips, release the heels, and lift the head last.
