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.
