Now coming up out of this pose, standing up, the only little challenge is the balance here.
Really press down with the foot that's on the floor, the one that's on the floor, pull
up with the belly, so as and so forth. Now the eka pada, otita astapada and kostasana,
2 the sideways leg balance. First two fingers, big toe second toe, hands on the opposite
hip, we'll stretch the leg up and out. So that's the way I usually see it performed,
it's great, but, and, I should take it a little higher, so I take hand on heel and take it
straight up, really high. Because I can, maybe you can to go up higher and higher, but I'm
pulling down on that right hip, keeping my spine in line. Then keeping the balance, hold
the foot up, and back into that half lotus. This time see if you can reach behind the
back holding the foot, elongate, and take it back down to the forward bend.
