My theme for this year’s #atozchallenge is – 26 Yogasana. So brace yourself for 26 days of stretching, backbends and inversions, as I take you along my upside down evenings, sincerely hoping that you will find these posts helpful 🙂
Ostrich Pose
Keeping it short and simple today 🙂 I came across this pose only recently, while looking for a Yoga pose starting with letter O. The pose emulates an ostrich trying to hide its head in the ground. I feel Ostrich pose is a great warm up as it stretches your arms, shoulders and hamstrings. Those with more flexibility can actually touch the floor with their foreheads.

I am writing this series to detail my learning and experience during the practice.

Stay Strong and Humble. Namaste 🙂

The doesn’t look easy at all .Will need serious flexibility to touch forehead to ground.
This maybe, maybe, I can do 😛
Oh my God, Raj!! This pose looks so scary! I doubt I would ever want to give it a try!
Cheers
Am surely giving this one a try to the best of my abilities 😊
Oh what a pose Raj. I can try this one but not sure if I will be able to do it. You make them all look so easy 🙂
Good series you got going here. This one seems to really stretch the multiple parts together..
Ooh! That surely looks like an ostrich!
Touching the floor with the forehead is pretty easily … way out of my league 😀
It’s a wonder how you have asanas named from each letter. I wouldn’t have imagined am asana starting with letter O.
Oh I should try this one….I doubt my forehead will touch the floor but otherwise it seems manageable
