Side Shoulderstand Flow
This flow shows a really nice way to enter The
Shoulderstand pose. The 2 forward bends before the
Shoulderstand compliment the transition in.
In the seated forward bend make an effort to feel the same exact
stretch in both legs. To really balance the legs hold this pose for
at least 5 minutes. It is best to take your time and open up the
body before flowing fast but not always necessary.
Inhale and raise up with the upper body, bend the knees and roll
back, rock with the body to align the spine and gently massage it.
It will be easier to perform this posture well if appropriate time
has been spent in its previous version.
You may want to roll back into Plough pose but you will find the
open leg version, simply called Reclined Angle Shoulderstand
pose, to be a less strenuous alternative. It also sets you
up for the next pose well.
Place the right hand under the right hip. Extend the left leg out to
the right diagonally down and the right leg sideways and to the
right.
