- Alexandra Dana
Asana of the week : Dancer (Natarajasana)
Stand with the feet together and look at a fixed point
Bend the right knee and grasp the ankle/foot with the right hand
Slowly raise and stretch the right leg backwards, as high as comfortable
Extend the left arm
Hold the position for a few moments, maintain balance
Lower the left arm, lower the right leg, and release the foot
Repeat for the other side
:)Yogi pro tip: Focusing on a fixed point will help you maintain your balance
You can bring the fingers of the extended hand together, to do chin mudra
Breath normally during the practice
You can hold on to a fixed surface with the extended arm, to practice balance,
until you feel comfortable enough to try without support
Benefits of the pose: Strengthens back, shoulders, arms, hips and legs
Opens the heart center
Develops balance and coordination
Improves concentration
