Asana Kitchen: Bharadajasana, Intermediate Yoga twisting with David Garrigues

Описание: http://www.davidgarrigues.com

1) Take back the left leg into Ardha Virasana (Half Hero). Pull the flesh of the calf back and not the side as you take the position.

2) Take half lotus with the right foot bringing the heel to the navel. Swing the right arm behind you and bind the lotus with the right hand.

3) Separate the knees to a wide stance of 120 degrees, keep the hips square and anchor the hips and thighs firmly down. Feel the pelvis and thighs as distinctly weighted, sunk down into the earth.

4) Lift up the spine and turn to the right. Hook the left hand around the outer right knee, bring the finger tips to the ground but the keep the palm up off of the ground. Place more emphasis on anchoring the left hip to ground and less emphasis on bringing the left hand all the way down to the ground.

5) Enjoy a thorough spinal rotation by lifting up the navel, sucking the kidneys into the body, rolling back the right shoulder, and casting a steady gaze all the way around to the side.
