ardha = half; purva = front, east; ut = intense; tan = extend; (ARD-hah PUR-voh-tan-AHS-anna)
Awareness: Breath, strength, stretch, shoulder and hip opener, pelvic stability, support.
Action and Alignment: Shoulder extension and inward rotation, shoulder girdle retraction, elbow and wrist/hand extension, core stabilization, hip extension, knee flexion. Spine neutral, wrists under shoulders, feet under knees.
Technique: From a sitting position with the legs in front and the knees bent, place the arms behind on the floor, fingers facing forward, and press the pelvis up in line with the shoulders and hips. The gaze is up toward the sky—do not drop the head back. This posture can be done at any time the front of the hips needs to open.
Helpful Hints: This is an intense stretch for the front of the shoulder and hips. Place the hips on a block for more support and less strain. If carpal tunnel syndrome is an issue, make a fist with the hands for stability.
Counter Pose: Sukhasana, Dandasana.
