That shit cray.
But seriously, this is why I wish I would have started yoga when I was like 10 or something, so I would have a shot at mastering crazy shit like that. I just don’t see it happening in this life lol
Eka Pada Koundiyanasana II
When I first saw this pose in yoga class last week, I was stumped. It was the first arm-balancing pose taught to me, and daunting doesn’t begin to describe it. Let’s just say I didn’t complete the pose or get a foot (let alone two) off the ground.
It was sad, oh, so sad. And I’ve been looking around the internet for the best video that shows how this pose can be done (by normal human beings) ever since.
I finally found one by John Friend. It even includes a step-by-step practice, so that your muscles get used to the flexibility required to enter the pose. Also includes a hilarious commentary on how the mind is the biggest obstacle when getting into this pose – very true, for I remembered thinking, “How in the world does one even get his shoulder behind his knee??”
For those whose hearts dropped when they first saw this. May you be able to master this pose one day.
