Plough Flow
This flow opens the neck and hamstrings. The opposing
effect of gravity on the blood flow allows blood to soak into the
thyroid.
It begins in a reclined version of a popular seated forward bend. In
this version it is often nice to roll on the spine a number of times
before resting on the upper back around the shoulders.
Roll further back onto the tops of the shoulders. Keep some space
around the neck, notice the chin is not touching the chest. This way
there is less pressure and it is easier to breathe.
Bend the knees beside the ears as you roll down. Cross one
foot over the other and pull them back over the top of the head.
Hold taking quick short breaths.
Roll back and open the legs in the splits. If possible grab the
toes. This posture is often welcomed after a posture that is so
suppressing to the internal organs.
On the way out bend the knees in and then open them when you
are back to a somewhat seated position. Lean forward and down
holding the feet or toes.
