Today’s class was good especially after my long absense from yoga. We did this Parivrtta Surya Yantrasana, the anusara way. For the first time I was able to get pretty much close to it by using the anusara yoga principles. Lovely!
1. The leg on the floor can be either straight leg ( easiest ), bent leg ( like above ) or have the leg bent behind ( like the legs in supta virasana ).
2. Bring your to-be-extended-out leg behind the same shoulder. Try to move the leg as high up as possible. Meanwhile the hand of the same shoulder should be on the floor.
3. Hold the leg with the opposite hand on the outside edge of the lifted foot.
4. At this point, concentrate on the rotation of the lifted leg. Rotate your inner thigh in as much as possible ( the same hip will be lifted ). Once you do the inner rotation of the thigh, the leg would naturally go striaght.
5. The body can be bended forward at this point to help with the inner rotation of the inner thigh. ( this will mean that your hips will both be moving outwards, as if splitting your butts… haha )
6. From there, keeping the same rotation, slowly tuck your tail bone. Then rotate your body, chest upwards.
tada!
I could feel the ease in going into the pose with this inner rotation. And by doing this way, I feel that my body actually naturally wants to move into that position!
Thumbs up to Bo and Anusara!
