Mukta Hasta Sirshasana - Variation 2

Mukta Hasta Sirshasana - Karaprishtha variation

Kara (n.) = palm
prishtha (n.) = back

This is the back of the palm variation.

 

As in all Mukta Hasta Sirshasanas, weight is borne by the hands, albeit to a lesser degree. We therefore, cannot call the Mukta Hasta series as the Nirlamba series.

Nirlamba (adj.) = supportless

In the above variation, body is balanced by the wrists, and weight is also borne by them.

Drishti = Nasagre (tip of the nose)

Breathing = 1) breathe in while hoisting the legs up from the ground. 2) deep, and long and slow at the final pose 3) stay at least 5 breaths
