Water your Christmas Tree with the odd sherry and watch it grow :)

 

How to:

Start standing in Mountain pose and turn toes outwards.

Rise up onto tip-toes, and as you exhale, bend knees to slowly lower to a squat position with heels up.

At the same time, raise hands over head bringing fingertips together to make your Christmas tree.

Hold for a few breaths before engaging core and rising up as your tree grows!

Draw the left knee up and place your foot to the ankle, calf or inner thigh.

Hold for 5 breaths, gently release and repeat on the other side.

 

Great for:

Strengthening thighs, calves, ankles and spine

Stretching the groins and inner thighs, chest and shoulders

Improving sense of balance

Enouraging inner focus and a quiet mind

Relieving sciatica
