Yoga postures: Supta Kurmasana

on the way to Supta Kurmasana, originally uploaded by WitChi Wotcha.

This is variation of Kurmasana that requires a lot of practice to easily perform it. It may be difficult to perform. By practice under a trained teacher, you can attain a perfect pose. If this Asana is too intense, and seems almost impossible, you can remain in Kurmasana. When in this pose, make sure you place your shoulders under the knees.

Here are the steps: Inhale and from Kurmasana pose bend the knees and bring your feet closer. Then exhale and place your legs cross behind your neck and clan the hands in the back or just bring the feet closer and place the arms back palms facing up or use a prop. Stay in the pose for five long and deep breaths.
