Synopsis
- “Candle” refers to a yoga pose commonly called the shoulder stand. That is, the person rests on the head and shoulders with the pelvis and legs vertical, the pelvis supported by the hands.
- In a variety of counter-intuitive positions and movements, the student learns to lengthen the back muscles to allow the legs to become lighter overhead.
- The lengthening and rounding of the back also assist with the ability to roll to sit to stand (see series 310 thru 316, and more)
