Natrajasana (Dancing Shiva pose)

October 29, 2008

Stand up straight. Inhale. Bend your right leg behind you. Exhale. Inhale, reaching your right hand behind to hold your right ankle. Exhale and lean forward. Hold the pose, breathing normally. Release. Repeat for other side.

Avoid: This is a slightly advanced pose, so try other simpler balancers before graduating to this one.

Sequence: To place this pose in a sequence, you may start with the palm pose (tadasana), move into the natrajsana and finish with standing one legged prayer pose (pranamasana).

Benefits: Stamina builder, it also boosts mental focus.
