Ardha padma sarvangasana (Half-lotus shoulderstand)

December 24, 2008

Do the viparita karani mudra as above. Fold right leg at knee, placing back of right foot against left thigh. Hold the pose for as long as is comfortable. Release the leg; repeat the sequence for other side. This is not such a difficult practice and may be attempted by those who can comfortably hold the shoulderstand for three minutes or so.

Benefits: Tones the entire body, as explained in the introduction.
