Getting into Kukkutasana
From Garbha Pindasana with your arms threaded through your crossed lotus legs, press your palms flat on the floor on either side of your hips and straighten your arms to lift your entire body, hips and lotus legs together, off the floor, balancing on your hands alone.
What a teacher would tell you
- Press the palms flat.
- Lift the lotus clear of the floor.
- Straighten the arms.
These are the corrections My Ashtanga speaks aloud while you hold the posture.
