Natavarasana - Lord Krishna’s pose

• Stand with the feet together and the arms beside the body.
• Slowly transfer the weight onto the left leg.
• Raise the right foot from the floor and bend the knee slightly.
• Place the outside of the ankle in front of the left shin, so that the sole of the right foot is almost vertical to the floor.
• Raise both hands to the right and as if playing a flute, turn the right palm forward and the left palm backward.
• Extend the index and little fingers of the hands, and wrap the thumbs around the curled middle and ring fingers.
• Turn the head to the left and gaze softly at a fixed point to maintain steady balance.
• Hold the position for as long as comfortable.
• To release, lower the hands then the foot and redistribute the weight evenly.
• Repeat with the left leg, then practice up to 3 times on each side.
