Getting into Yoga Mudrasana

From Baddha Padmasana, fold your torso forward over your lotus legs, bringing your forehead toward the floor in front of you while keeping the bind on your feet intact behind your back.

What a teacher would tell you

  • Fold forward.
  • Bind the hands behind.
  • Forehead toward the floor.

These are the corrections My Ashtanga speaks aloud while you hold the posture.
