Building strength in Laghu Vajrasana with David Garrigues

One key to to building strength in Laghu Vajrasana is to work on the transition. Deliberately use rhythm and speed to rehearse going down. Using speed and rhythm to go back and touch your head will increase your ability to keep your body shifted forward as you go down. Going back with a sure gesture also creates a balance predicament that automatically activates the leg, pelvic, and back muscles. Activating these muscles gives you the control you seek and enables you to hold your form as you stay in the pose. ASANA ACTIONS IN THE POSE 1) Weight your legs and actively press your shins and feet down. 2) Engage your thighs vigorously. When down in the position pretend you are trying to come up even though you are remaining steady in place. 3) Instead of releasing your weight to the ground, keep your spine lifted up into your body and your touch your head lightly to the ground. 4) Grip your legs with your hands and keep your arms strong. . .
