After spending the morning with my Physical Therapist, we devised a new way to get into chair pose that is particularly supportive of those with lumber back issues. 1. First bend the knees while pulling in the belly button and arching the lumbar spine. pull up on the paraneaum. 2. Extend the arms outstreatched and upwardsa at about a 45 degree angle. bring the weight into the heels and balance for 10 long breaths. do three sets. This protects the lumbar spine particularly L5 S1 from over curvature - convex- of the lower spine. This would be less helpful for those with the opposite problem or a concave lumbar or flat lumbar disposition.
