(Preview) Sapling Stance and Spirit (Patreon)

• If you’re new to LMA, start with our table of contents

Start by positioning your feet wider than your trunk, extending your roots outward. Connect with the ground using the entire surface of your feet, ensuring every fiber is grounded. Unlock your knees. Unclench your hips, pelvis, abs, and back. Drop your chest and breathe into your diaphragm to avoid creating tension in your abs, hips, neck, and shoulders. Breathe through your nose if possible, placing your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Lift your shoulders, pull them back, and then drop them. Release your fingers and let your arms dangle. Soften your gaze or close your eyes, and lift the crown of your head towards the sky.
