Half Lord of the Pisces Pose – Yoga Journal
- Start with Gomukhasana Legs (Cow Face Pose), right knee on top.
- Root with your sit bones to increase the length of your spine.
- Imagine a central axis running through your torso from the pelvic floor to the crown of your head.
- Each time you inhale, emphasize both the length and the integrity of this axis. The column is straight and does not tilt or curve to one side or the other.
- Keeping your left leg in the current position, place your right foot outside of your left knee.
- Root your right great toe mound while lowering your right outer hip.
- Inhale and raise your left arm to the ceiling.
- Exhale and hang your left elbow on the outside of your right knee. Place your right hand on the floor outside of your right hip.
- Notice how your right knee tends to buckle into your midline. Instead, press right to create more resistance for your left elbow.
- Inhale and find more length along the central axis. Exhale, and use this length to twist more deeply.
- Repeat on the other side.
