EKA PADA GALAVASANA / FLYING PIGEON
POSE
1 Come to a standing position. Balancing on the right foot, place the left ankle
directly above the right knee. Flex the left foot and fold forward, placing the hands on
the mat shoulder distance apart. You want the shinbone to press against the back of
the right arm, as high as it goes, and then use the left foot to wrap around the right
triceps. Press the tops of the toes to the back of the arm so you feel almost as if the
foot is glued to the arm; this is what will keep you steady when you take off! Lift the
hips high and start shifting some weight into the tips of the fingers.
