sandeyeOther poses, which I do not indulge in: Kurmasana
March 17th 2008 17:33
Kurmasana, or Turtle pose, is a pose I rarely read about. I have only located it in two of around a dozen of the Yoga reading texts I have as yet perused. I have not personally practiced it, though I have considered performing this asana on such occasion as wanting to add an extra pose to my routine.
To achieve this asana, sit on the floor and place the base of your feet together. Slide your hands below your knees and push your feet forwards slightly. Droop your head and upper body downwards, so that your head is close to your heels. Your hands should then slip around far enough to reach the front of your ankles. Relaxing into the posture, it is suggested you maintain the position for between six and twenty breaths before rising on an inhale.
