During the past month I did not really practice yoga a lot. Since this week I'm really back on the mat!
This balance pose is called 'Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana' which literally means 'stretching your hand to your big toe posture'. Asana means posture or pose. This one strenghtens the leg muscles and opens your groin.
It is done from your 'core'. So use your core muscles. To get into the pose focus is the most important. It is all in the mind. It is the pathway to finding your focus point strangely enough calms you down and makes you more balanced. And that's what yoga is about.
I just love balancing poses. They challenge you on different levels. And in a way any yoga pose is a balancing pose. It's about building on stable foundations and dividing your weight between these foundations.
I'd love to inspire you to try some other postures and modifications for different levels if you'd like me to....
