‘Eka Pada Rajakapotasana’ literally means ‘one-legged king pigeon yoga posture’, and this pose is the second variation. It is being demonstrated by Anne Hungerford, the gifted yoga teacher of the photographer, who uploaded this photo. She teaches his wife as well. He says Anne is able to work with beginners like him and more advanced yogis like his wife and she has just the right take on yoga for him and his wife. He says, “She doesn't strip it of its spiritual component, yet never makes us feel uncomfortable with it."
