Yoga posture - Galavasana

Translation: Name of a Sage
This posture is quite challenging. It requires upper body strength and hip and knee flexibility. It can be entered from the Headstand or from a position such as Chair Pose with one foot and leg in Padmasana.

 

The bend leg is placed high up the triceps on one arm and its foot is placed over the other leg. This allows the arms to be somewhat evenly  used and really allows this posture to be held for longer than many of the other arm balance yoga postures.


 

 

This is a yoga posture that stretches the knees, hamstrings and lower back.

Tips
It may be a good idea to open the hips up with Kapotasana or Ardha Padmasana before entering this arm balance.
