Pose of the Week - Staff Pose - Dandasana The alignment points for staff pose are pretty straight-forward, as everything is stacking vertically, while allowing for the natural curves of the spine. If you're not sure how this feels, it helps to sway your upper body a little bit forward, then a little bit back in order to find out what it feels like to go too far in either direction. The position of the arms does sometimes cause confusion, but as long as your shoulders are away from the ears, you're doing fine.
