Tips on Eka Hasta Bujasana (Elephant’s Trunk pose)
- Start from seated. Get your leg onto your shoulder as high as possible. You can start by opening up the hips in Double Pigeon or Gecko pose first
- Press your arm back into your thigh so you leg stays on you arm
- Squeeze your knee to your arm so your leg does not slide down
- Plant your hands on the floor slightly forward of your hips. Think Chaturanga arms
- Spread your fingers wide. Full palms on the floor
- Lean your body weight forward. Try to make your upper body as short as possible by rounding forward
- Pull your lower belly in and up. Draw your hips back and up. Press your hands and lift
- Straighten your straight leg as much as possible and contract your quadricep muscle to lift the leg
- Hold and breath
