The next pose if you’re feeling adventurous at home and you have a couple of yoga blocks
or phone books that you can use, you’ll want to start by placing your yoga blocks
or phone books even with your hips. This is called elephant trunk pose and in a minute
you’ll see why. So you place your hands squarely on your blocks or phone books, and
then you’re going to want to take one leg up as high as you can above the elbow on one
arm. So you don’t have to lift your leg behind your head, just above the elbow as
far up toward the shoulder as possible, and then flexing your feet, pressing against to
the blocks, lifting up. This is elephant trunk pose. If you’re feeling kind of energetic
you could always hook the straight leg over the bent leg and come into side crow. And
then to come out, coming back to center and then coming down. The first stage of elephant
trunk. Second stage.
