Be careful that you don’t damage your knees in this posture. if your hips are a little tight, the pose can transfer tension to your knee joint and strain it — so stop if you experience pain. If you find half-lotus difficult or uncomfortable, simply place your foot on the inside of your opposite thigh.
This is a valuable forward bend — a[though both legs face forwards at the hip, only one leg is stretched at the hamstring. This allows you to work each side individually with a very strong parallel hip position.
Exhale, bend your right knee so your right foot is by your right hip with the sole facing up and your knees close together. Fold forward and grasp your Left foot. Draw your spine long and keep folding deeply at your hip. Inhale, open your chest and lift your gaze. Exhale and fold forward again. Stay for lIve breaths. Inhale, open your chest and lengthen your spine. Exhale, straighten both legs. Go into a vmyasa. Repeat the pose on the other side and go into a vinyasa.
o ii you feel as though you are leaning heavily to one side, place a small cushion, block or folded blanket under the hip of your straight leg. This will help to balance die pose.
Q If your ankle or top of your foot is under too much pressure in a bent leg position, place a rolled-up blanket or small pad under your ankle for support. If the posture hurts your knee, do janu Sirsasana (see pages 7941) instead.
