Bhadrasana I & II, according to Mr. Sidersky's site.Demonstrated byAndr Sidersky

Hatha Yogaby Andr Sidersky of Kiev, Ukraine

Come to a seated position with your legs straight in front of you.Root the leg bones down into the hamstring muscles so it makescontact with the ground. Note: Heels should not lift off the groundwhile doing this. Modification: If you can not sit up with a straightspine, use a blanket or cushion under the back part of your

buttocks to help rotate the pelvis forward and aid you in having astraight spine.

Bend your bottom knee so the shin of your left leg is parallel toyour body and the front of your mat, and knee is slightly on theoutside of your body. The bottom foot should come to the outsideline of the right side of your body.

Bring your hands high up onto your left thigh so your left hand is onthe outside of your thigh and the right hand is on the inside of yourthigh. Grab the thigh with both hands (thumbs will be close to eachother), pick the thigh slightly off the ground and turn the inner thighdown as you move the fleshy part of outer thigh away from you.

Stack the other leg on top of the bottom so the top ankle is alignedon top of the bottom knee and your two shin bones are stacked ontop of each other. It is important that it is ankle over knee, kneeover ankle and the foot is not sickling.

Bring your hands high up onto your top thigh so your right hand ison the outside of your thigh and the left hand is on the inside ofyour thigh. Manually, grab the thigh with both hands (thumbs willbe close to each other), pick the thigh slightly off the ground andturn the inner thigh down as you move the fleshy part of outer thighaway from you. This should help bring the knee further down andopen the hip more.

You can apply gently pressure to your top knee to help guide itdown, but do not strain or push your knee too hard. If you

experience any knee discomfort release the pressure.

Advanced Posture: If your ankles and knees are stacked on top ofeach other, begin to hinge at the hips (try not to hunch the spine)walking your palms out in front of you while drawing the shoulderblades onto your back.

To release: Look forward first, to elongate your spine. Slowly walkyour hands back in and raise up with a straight spine. Gentlyuncross your legs and repeat on other side.
