Day 11 of #hkyogachallenge - #ekapadakoundiyasana2.
-
This #armbalance is mind boggling one but if you understand #bodymechanics then this is a matter of balancing like a scale. This #asana also requires a certain degree of hip flexibility so if your hips are tight, do some #humblewarrior or #lizardpose to open your hips.Hope this step by step guide will help you:
-
1️⃣ From #downwardfacingdog, lift your right leg up and as you exhale, bring the right knee to the outside of the right elbow, if possible right armpit. You can do this with your arms straight. Lift the right leg back up and repeat this 3-5 times. At the last one with the right knee still outside the elbow, do it with your elbows bent like doing a #chaturanga and firmly hug the elbows in. See if you can rest the right knee on top of the right upper arm
-
2️⃣ At this point, keep the chest up and gaze forward. Lean your body weight forward as well and pivot your hip bones on your arms and elbows. Think of your arms as the middle point of a scale. Since your legs are longer than your body, you need to lean much more forward than you think you need to.
-
3️⃣ Beginners you could "rest" your left hip bone on your left elbow and even "plant" your face on the floor too. For more advanced, left hip bone will be between the elbows.
-
4️⃣ Most people at this point will struggle with lifting the left (back) foot off the ground, reason being 1) they're not lean far forward enough and 2) they are not doing a slight back bend. Think of this pose as a #locustpose or #salabhasana so you need to arch the back a bit. Remember this pose is a game of balance between the front half and the back half of the body. You could also keep your back foot against a wall while attempting this pose. All you need to do is to push your back foot against the wall to "propel" yourself forward.
