Urdhva Mukha Upavistha Konasana

This yoga posture can be sequences well with many of the splits
variations. It is nice to open the chest and shoulders after suppressing
the area. There are also many Vinyasa flows that move in and out of this.
Yoga Teacher Tips
This is a quick counter balance pose in many circumstances an example being Janu Sirsasana when one knee is bent and the spine is in a forward bend. The spine and knee are opened well so it's a good counter pose or lead into your next posture.
Fingers can be facing different directions for a slightly varied shoulder stretch.
"Place your knee gently into your students back. Ask if the knee is causing the spine strain. Place in hands on the front of the shoulders and pull the skin lightly back towards you while pushing one knee or two into their upper backs. This will open the students chest and make them aware of a greater range of motion. "
