HEAD-BEYOND-THE-KNEE POSTURE A

Drishti Toes

Janushirshasana A, like no other posture, combines the two main themes of the Primary Series — forward bending and hip rotation. Pashimottanasana and Baddha Konasana are the cardinal postures of these two actions. Janushirshasana A is in fact identical to performing Pashimottanasana on one leg and Baddha Konasana with the other. There may be more exhilarating postures in the sequence, but it is Janushirshasana A that most lets us experience the underlying principles of the first series.
