35. Pose Factory: Upward Facing Dog [14m]
Power Point & Foundation
Upward Dog has two foundations, The Hands being the primary, and the Feet being secondary, making the primary Power Point the Heart (governing the shoulder blades). As discussed in this video the primary actions of the shoulder blades are going to be retraction and depression. These two actions help to improve spinal extension. Additionally this is one of the only yoga postures where you have an opportunity to depress your shoulder blades against the weight of your body/gravity.
34. Pose Factory: Cobra Pose [21m]
POWER POINT & CONNECTIVE CORE
The power point for this posture was much debated, and took a bit of physical practice and deliberate contemplation. In Cobra the vast majority of the legs, pelvis and hands are the foundation. I think it can be argued in many directions, but I decided its most beneficial to consider the Palms or Finger Tips as the primary foundation and the Heart being the Power Point. It’s from these areas that we can draw the greatest amount of action to transform the spinal extension and the experience of the pose.
As for the connective core, Spinal Extension is the action, but additionally its very helpful and de-compressive to lift the abdomen in and UP to stretch and lengthen the front body.
