Bhujapidasana

Shoulder Pressing Pose

Asana: Bhujapidasana/Shoulder Pressing Pose. Spread the feet, bending the knees in order to place palms about 18 inches apart, between legs so you can rest the back of thighs on upper arms. Bend elbows, and exhale as you lift feet off floor, squeezing the knees over the arms.  Interlock ankles, lifting abdominal muscle and mula bandha.  Repeat pose by changing ankle interlock.  To release any wrist strain, stand on hands afterward in Padhastasana.

Health Notes:
This is a powerful pose of strengthening wrists, arms, and abs.  When you conquer it, you do feel ready to meet anyone, on any level.
