EH-kah-pah-dah sheer-SHAH-sah-nah B
An incredibly advanced arm balance that transitions from Ekapada Sirsasana A, where the practitioner balances on their hands with one leg behind the head and the other extended forward. It demands extreme flexibility and immense upper body and core strength.
From One Foot Behind the Head, place hands on floor outside hips.
Engage core, press into hands, lift entire body off floor.
Keep the free leg extended forward.
Ensure the foot is securely behind the head and the hips are open enough for comfort.
Hands firmly planted, fingers spread wide, similar to Bakasana setup.
Hug the leg behind the head tightly against the upper arms/shoulders.
Engage the core deeply to lift the pelvis and maintain a long spine.
Keep the extended leg active and parallel to the floor.
