nah-tah-rah-JAHS-ah-nah
A beautiful and graceful balancing pose that combines a backbend with a one-legged stand. It builds strength, improves balance, and opens the heart and shoulders.
Stand on one leg, bend your other knee, and reach back for your inner ankle.
Kick your foot into your hand while reaching your opposite arm forward.
Keep your chest lifted and your gaze steady.
Ground down through all four corners of your standing foot.
Keep your standing leg straight but not locked.
Kick your foot back and up to create a bow shape with your body.
Keep your hips square toward the front of the mat.
Lift your chest and reach forward with your free hand.
