Padangustasana and Padahastasana

Hi everyone,

Here is part number 3 of the ashtanga yoga series. I demonstrate here

padangustasana / big toe pose

padahastasana / hand to foot pose

Both are forward bend poses.

With these 2 poses you begin the standing series in the ashtanga yoga tradition. Before these 2 poses you do a few sun salutations A and a few sun salutations B to warm up the body.

Remember your options of bending the knees or holding the back of the legs if the feet are too far away!
