Sphinx Pose

Prone position with elbows underneath shoulders and forearms parallel. Feet hip-width apart. Sustained passive backbend delivering gentle compression to stimulate lumbar connective tissues.

Key points

  • Position elbows directly beneath or slightly ahead of shoulders
  • Relax glutes, thighs, and lower back to allow passive lumbar extension
  • Keep shoulders resting naturally away from ears without excessive active pushing
