Ajanayasa is a version of your high lunge. So, we'll use an inhale to step your right
foot back. Finding out what your lunge looks like here, presenting the right foot into
the asana. So take a look at that foot. It's not leaning in or out. The knee needs to stay
in line with your heel. And we're going to pause for a moment to take the right femur
of the right thigh bone and press it right deeply into the hip socket. Let's use an inhale
to release the left knee to the earth, turning the left foot over. And then we're going to
present this left foot, baby toe, big toe, firmly pressing into the earth. The top of
your shin, so that this whole area becomes your support. With an inhale, we're going
to lift both arms up to the sky. Once again, it's not just lifting the arms, but there's
a strong effort to lift up. And with no discomfort to the upper back or neck, she can begin to
look up. Continuing to create the lunge, to open up that hip. Knee stays over the ankle,
and if she has the ability to lunge forward, the longer she stays in the pose, the more
comfortable the pose becomes. Muscles begin to settle in. And then present the pose on
the other side.
