Stand up straight, bend the right leg at the knee. Place right foot on left thigh; resting the back of your right foot high on the left thigh. Inhaling, raise both your hands above your head. Exhale and lower your hands to floor, bringing head as close to the left thigh as possible. Hold the pose, breathing normally. Release and return to normal. Repeat for the other side.
Avoid: If having lower back problems, heart problems or high blood pressure, vertigo, or if you cannot balance on a single leg for long.
Benefits: This pose is a stamina builder. It provides super traction to the spine. Increases respiration building capacity. It tends to make the mond more extroverted due to impact on the cerebellum.
