Eye Of The Needle Pose Variation Ii. Strength supine and back pain.

Step-by-Step Instruction

1. Release the left leg and stretch out completely in supine resting the back on the floor and take a few breaths here.

2. Inhale and bend the legs at the knee and raise the right leg and place the right foot on the upper left knee feeling the stretch at the right hamstring and right side of the hips.

3. Watch the breath while you are in Sucirandhrasana Variation II, and feel the stretch and remain in this posture for about 6 breaths.

4. Make sure the weight of the foot on the knee does not hurt the knee in this pose. Also ensure the balance of the foot on the knee is attained, and if one feels the foot is slipping, one could hold the ankle which is placed on the knee for better support.

5. Release and stretch out the legs completely and relax in Savasana.
