Janu Sirsasana - Head-to-Knee Pose

Janu Sirsasana - Head-to-Knee Pose

Sit on the floor with your legs straight in front of you. Bend one knee and place the bottom of your heel as high as possible against the inner part of your opposite thigh. Your extended leg and knee should be comfortably pressed on the floor and your bent knee will have an outer, upper rotation. Center your chest and belly over your extended leg. Grow your spine long and arms overhead, then fold over your straight leg as you hollow out your belly and pull your navel towards your spine. Keep a long spine, reach for your ankle, foot or toes with your hands. Take a bind by catching your wrist, wrap your hands around your foot, or rest your arms alongside your extended leg.
