Vrkasana (Tree pose, advanced variation)

May 13, 2008
Do as above. Instead of the hands placed together at the chest, raise them up, stretching them fully and placing palms together in namaste gesture.

Stand up straight. Bend right leg at knee. Place sole on the inside of left thigh. Ensure the right knee is not jutting in front, but flared to the right. To hold the pose longer, focus on a spot in front of you. Breathe normally throughout. Release right foot back to ground. Rest. Repeat sequence for left side.

Benefits: Same as above, with the hands also getting a powerful stretch and work-out.
