- Optional Exit Pose
To come out of Bhuja Pidasana you can simply uncross the ankles, bend
the elbows and gently lower yourself back down on to your mat. Or for
an advanced practice you can exit through Bakasana (crow pose) as
practiced in the primary series. You can do this by uncrossing the ankles
and lifting up the hips as you take your right knee onto the back of the
upper arm. Repeat on the left side. Lift your hips, draw in your core and
straighten the arms as you come into full Bakasana. - Counter Pose
From Bakasana take your weight forward as you lift the hips and engage the
core. With control take take the feet back into plank. As you exhale bend the
elbows and lower down into your chatauranga, you can drop the knees if
this feels too strong. Inhale as you roll the shoulders back into your upward
dog, as you allow the spine to realign.
