Krounchasana is an Asana. It is translated as Herron Pose of Sanskrit. The name of this posture comes from “krauncha” which means “herron”, and “asana” which means “posture” or “seat”.<\/p>\n
We encourage you to expand your knowledge and understanding of yoga by educating yourself here! <\/span>This is a great posture for rigid hamstrings, but, as with most asanas, it should be practiced with caution to avoid tightening the muscles.<\/p>\n <\/span>If you are unable to fully straighten your raised leg when in Krounchasana, attach a strap or strap around the sole of your foot before attempting to lift the leg. <\/span>Hold the strap on both sides as close to the foot as possible when extending the leg. <\/span>Be sure to keep the pelvis aligned with the bones sitting along this posture. Heron Pose:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span>Start in Dandasana (Personal Pose). <\/span>Place your left leg in Virasana (Hero Pose) – your left foot should point in line with your same side pimple, placed slightly off the hip with the top of the flat foot on the floor. <\/span>Keep your knees together with your weight evenly distributed on the seated bones.<\/p>\n <\/span>Bend your right knee and place your foot on the floor, just in front of your right bone. <\/span>Now, reach your right arm around the inside of your right leg, cross your hand in front of the ankle, and hold it on the outside of your foot. <\/span>Then, grasp the inside of that same foot (the right foot) with your left hand.<\/p>\n
