Noose - Pasasana

STEPS : Sit on a block with your knees bent in front of you and your soles on the floor. Shift your knees slightly to the right while keeping your heels down on the floor. Your chest is forward, close to the thighs. Suck your belly in and move your torso to the left. Place your left hand on the ground and move your entire torso to the side. Fold your chest down on the outside of the left thigh. Next, drop your right shoulder down around the outer edge of the left knee. You can stay here with your hands in prayer or go for the bind. When you are ready to bind, you’ll know because your elbow is past the plain of your shin. Reach your right arm around the legs and your left arm around your back. Catch your hands, grasping them together. Look over to the left. Use the block as your foundation to prevent twisting of the hips. Release slowly and repeat the pose on the other side.
