Eka Pada Koundinyanasana I - Pose Dedicated to the Sage Koundinya I

STEPS : To perform this pose, the practitioner squats and turns the upper body to the left, so the hands can be placed on the floor on the outside of the left thigh. The elbows bend so that the upper arms are parallel to the ground. The left thigh rests on the right upper arm, and the right thigh stacks over it. The heels lift off the ground as in side crane pose (parsva bakasana). Then both legs are straightened, with the left leg going forward and the right leg going backward. This should be repeated on the opposite side.
