New Asana: Utthita Dhanurasana (Half-Bow)

Tried Utthita Dhanurasana (Half-Bow) below variation for the first time earlier today, one of those poses I have seen on instagram and finally gotten to try out.


Quite a challenge to flip the elbows up, as one would do in eka pada rajakapotasana. Here, it is much more difficult as the distance is much further across the length of the body. Had a pretty tough time holding onto my toes as they kept slipping away and trying this for the first time, my backbend was not deep enough to grab the middle part of my foot which would see a much firmer grasp on the feet. I think did manage to momentarily touch my feet to the back of my head.

Will be trying out this pose soon, cannot wait!
