Yoga Foot to Head Pose : Advanced Yoga Pose

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Leta Koontz. I'm a yoga instructor at Schoolhouse Yoga located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. Alright, so if you're still feeling that your lower back is healthy, strong, flexible, and you're ready to go on, now we're going to work on getting our foot to our head. We're going to come into the same pose that we came into for mermaid pose. We're going to reach back and we just have to draw that heel in towards are hip. Stay here for a few breaths. You start to get a nice length in the quadriceps. Then we're going to reach back and we're going to take our thumb and pointer finger around our foot. We're going to draw our elbow forward. We're going to start to bring our foot to our head. Sometimes what can help you with this pose is if you have a strap or a belt. You can latch it to your foot and you can hold on to the strap and start to pull the foot to the head. You can even start to walk your hands down the strap. Keep the belly drawn in as you practice these poses. "
