TITIBHASANA

Description

TITIBHASANA Asana group: complex poses Translation of the name from Sanskrit: • titibha — firefly. 1. Setup Starting position: Dandasana. Take the right shin and foot with both hands and bring the leg behind the head. Place the hands in front of the torso, the left leg outside the left arm (the inner surface of the thigh facing the left leg). Press the hands into the mat, rise onto the arms and straighten the left leg. Hold the balance. Advanced variations: • take the leg behind the back; • bend the arms at the elbows, torso at a minimal distance from the floor. 3. Safety • The neck and back may round too much, which can cause protrusions and hernias — use the simplified version. • Knee of the top leg: with insufficient rotation in the hip joints, the twisting happens in the knee joint. If discomfort appears, use the simplified variations.
