Plough variation 2
This time the Plough asana is done with the arms and hands stretched out beyond the head.
Ear-knee Pose (Karna Peedasan)
In this variation of the Plough, the knees are allowed to bend towards the floor. At maximum
bend this asana could be called the “Kiss Your Ass Goodbye” pose. However, nobody uses that
term.
Increase gradually to four repetitions. Take it easy.
|
Eventually you will be able to grab your toes when in in the full bend.
This will allow your to stretch the calves.
|
When you are comfortable with this asana, you can swing up onto your buttocks during the final
repetition, holding on to your toes and balancing for a moment. Then let go and allow both ends
of your body to settle back onto the mat as you inhale.
