A woman in a dark sports bra and leggings performs a yoga pose on a mat in a warmly lit living room at sunset.

The image shows a woman in a calm, warmly lit living-room setting holding a variation of the Tabletop/Cow pose on her yoga mat. Overall environment & lighting • She’s positioned on a charcoal-gray mat laid across a honey-colored hardwood floor. • Behind her, a neutral-tone sofa, a leafy houseplant, and a blond-wood side table create a relaxed home-studio vibe. • A tall window fills the background with a vivid orange-gold sunset; the low sun silhouettes distant buildings while bathing the scene in soft, directional light that highlights muscle contours and gives her skin a healthy glow. • A cylindrical water bottle sits just in front of her left hand, reinforcing the workout context. Body position & alignment • Base Both knees rest hip-width apart, stacked directly under the hip joints.

From sacrum to the crown of her head, her spine forms one continuous, smooth curve. • Core engagement The abdominal wall lengthens but remains subtly active, preventing excessive sag in the low back. • Shoulders & arms Each wrist is planted under its corresponding shoulder, fingers splayed for a broad base.
