Coming into the Pose

You can make your way into Sphinx Pose by starting on your belly and pushing yourself up into it. You could also start in a High Plank pose, lowering into a forarem plank with elbows stacked under the shoulders then slowly releasing your knees, thighs and finally hips. As you do this, pull your heart through your shoulders and you’ll find yourself settled into your Sphinx Pose. 

Whichever way you choose to get there, find the first few moments to feel your alignment and set yourself up for success. Allow your elbows to stack directly under or slightly in front of your shoulders. Press into the tops of your feet to engage your quadriceps and allow your knee caps to lift.
