Eka Hasta Vyaghrasana/Tiger Pose

by Samantha on August 12, 2010

Asana: Vyaghrasana/Tiger Pose, Come onto hands and knees, exhale pulling R knee in toward forehead, inhale as you extend R leg back and up.  Repeat 5 times, and do other side.

Eka Hasta Vyaghrasana/One armed tiger. Begin on all fours, bend R knee, lifting R foot up and back, reach back with L hand and grab outside of R ankle, pushing leg away by working hamstrings. Lift chest up, lengthening back, and either turn toes of L foot under, or lay flat.

Health Notes: Eka Hasta Vyaghrasana stimulates circulation of blood, promoting digestion, stretching abs, and lengthening quads when ankle is held.  It softens Sciatic nerve, tones kidneys, and endocrine/adrenals, promoting greater energy.
