Advanced poses: The Bow variations

April 17th 2009 23:32
There are four variations to the basic bow asana. The first is to bring forward one or other foot, so that your heel rests upon your forehead. You need to extend the other leg behind you to maintain a perfect balance. The second variation is similar, this time you bring both your feet to your forehead, resting your two ankles upon it. This is to be done on each exhalation, releasing back into the basic bow on inhalations.

The final two variations are for when you have perfected the former two advancements. The 'out' advance is to reach upward with both arms and legs, attempting to straighten both whilst holding the clasp. The final variation is to 'in' your body by gently pulling your feet down to rest upon your shoulders. Your head should tilt backward in this position,which is officially named Poorna Dhanurasana.
