Ekapadbhumisparsha Shirshasan Yoga Asana:

Ekapadbhumisparsha Shirshasan is a challenging seated hip opener that requires a considerable amount of flexibility in the lower body, hips and hamstrings. It also requires some strength in the neck and back to hold the posture without strain. The name comes from the Sanskrit, eka, meaning "one", pada, meaning "foot", sirsa, meaning "head", and asana, meaning "pose".

Ekapadbhumisparsha Shirshasan Yoga Asana Steps:

• Sit cross-legged on the floor.
• Grasp your right foot with both hands and draw the sole up towards your chest.
• Raise the foot further to the level of your nose and then to your forehead.
• Tilt your head forward so you can bring the right leg over your right shoulder.
• Stretch your leg a little further so that the toes are aligned with the back of your head.
• Bring your arms together as in prayer, at the level of your chest.
• Maintain the position for a few seconds.
• Repeat the posture with the other leg.
