Knee to Ear Pose (Variation) Knees to Shoulders / Karnapidasana
(kar-na-pi-DAHS-anna)
karna = ear
pida = pain, discomfort, pressure
1. Practice Halasana following shoulder stand. With your legs straight up to the sky, keep your torso vertical and tip from the hips lowering the tips of your toes to the floor.
2. Either keep your toes curled on the floor or straighten them so the tops of your toes are in contact with the ground. Lift your hipbones up high to the sky and straighten your legs rolling the inner thighs towards each other.
3. Release your hands from your upper back and extend them in the opposite direction as your legs. Roll your shoulders under even more and place your palms flat on the ground or clasp your hands together. Press your arms firmly into the ground to help you lengthen your tail even further upwards to the sky.
4. Exhaling let your knees fall on either side of your head so that your knees touch the ground in front of your shoulders.
