Astavakrasana Eight Crooks Pose

Foundations of Posture:

Begin in Eka Hasta Bhujasana with your left knee back. Exhale, shift the weight into your right hand and engage your right outer thigh as you lift your right foot to hook around your left toes. Straighten both legs and lift from your core. Keep the shoulder blades drawing into the spine as your heart melts down into the floor. To release: Using abdominal muscles begin to lean the upper body back and bring the legs in front of you.  Repeat on other side.
