Baxter’s video for this week is one of his favorite mini vinyasas, moving between Cobra pose and Child’s pose with your breath. On your first round of Cobra pose, make sure to check that your shoulders are directly aligned over your wrists, as this is the healthiest position for both your wrist joints and the lower back. If your shoulders are either forward or behind your wrists, adjust your alignment accordingly.
