A variation of eka pada raja kapotasana, September 2022.
I joined again a challenge on Instagram created by Carmen (cyogalife) from Hawai. She is an advanced student and very creative. Her asanas surprise me again and again. I often chose to go for an easier variation I don’t like to risk an injury. I love to explore new asanas, but I don’t want to injure myself. I know my current flexibility level. To reach the foot with the arms stretched over the head is not doable. I also cannot flip the grip.
I’m working on stretching the shoulders and the front side of the body. Perhaps in a couple of months I’ll try this pose again.
It’s a lot of fun to be part of this yoga community around Carmen who all strive to learn asanas, the crazier the better.
Again and again one must try out new things. Otherwise one doesn’t know the own limits and the own possibilities. I’m looking forward to the next few asanas.
