How to do Tiryangmukha Ekapada Pascimattanasana in Ashtanga Yoga

While many of the transitions into and out of poses in Ashtanga are quite similar, the unique vinyasa for Tiryangmukha Ekapada Pascimattanasana can be quite challenging for the knee if you’re not sure how to modify to find what feels good in your body.

In this tutorial, we discuss how to do TIRYANGMUKHA EKAPADA PASCIMATTANASANA \ THREE LIMBS FACING ONE FOOT FORWARD FOLD from Ashtanga's Primary Series. You’ll learn the Sanskrit count and traditional cues for this pose’s unique vinyasa, as well as how to modify if the jumping transition into and/or out of the pose isn’t accessible in your body. We share how you can move your leg to help create more stability when sitting and what to do if you’re having knee issues to help decrease the pressure on the knee. You’ll also learn correct alignment to help avoid injury and make sure you access this pose safely.
