Hold Standing-Bow Pulling pose for the whole time

But in second set, which is shorter. Working on keeping my arm close to my chin, not the other way around! It’s easier to hold the lower I keep my chest, oddly. Just there’s so much to manage in that pose: reach forward, lock the knee, kick back, turn the shoulders, kick up, fingertips between the eyes, and breathe!

I’ve been able to hold this pose for about twenty seconds at a time. It’s come a long way from desperately clutching my ankle like a vulture (with the scars to show for it) while leaning against a wall.

My focus now is keeping my body tight, improving my kick up and back, and of course, locking my knee!
