The next step is to bend your left knee and grab your left foot with your hands. Place your left foot on the opposite thigh.

The first position- Hold both of your hands palm-side up. Now place one hand on top of the other hand and lay both of them on the heels of your feet.

yoga Teacher Training Aspects - Reminders to yoga Students
