PASCHIMOTTANASANA (Half)












Procedure
Fold the left leg in the knee and place the heel of the left foot near the thigh of the right leg.
Only inhale.
Exhaling, hold the big toe of the right foot with the left hand and encircle the right hand round the waist.
Exhale completely, and bend downwards and touch the forehead to the knee. Don't allow the knee to raise. Continue smooth breathing.
Position
The process of downward bending is the same as in Pashchimottasana (full). In this Asana one leg is folded and the calf and the thigh are kept to the floor.
Releasing
Exhale, and inhaling, start raising the head.
Restore both the hands to their place.
Straighten the left leg and take the sitting position.
