Shiva pose is a toughie! I didn’t even know about Shiva until I saw it on Instagram and decided to try it. I love that it requires flexibility, strength — and being open to new challenges! Prep poses include Elephant and Compass.
If you’d like to try it:
- Start from a seated position.
- Bring a leg over your shoulder
- Place hands flat on the floor next to hips
- Lift hips
- Straighten upper leg
Note: I’ve seen this pose with a flat foot and with the heel up. I found the heel up to be much more accessible. Also, you need to be warmed up for this one! I waited until after a hot yoga class to try it.
Remember, the more you practice yoga, the stronger and more flexible you get!
