Asana: Janu Sirsasana
Brief alignment: Start from a seated position. Extend the left leg to the top of the mat, and flex the foot. Bend the right knee in so the sole presses into the opposite thigh. Even both sit bones out, as you square the hips. Begin to fold over the bend knee twisting slightly toward the extended leg. 
Benefits: Stretches the hamstrings, opens the hips, enhances digestion, calms the mind, cools the body.
Contraindications: Hamstring, hip and lower back injury
Yogea Asana Lab breaks down your favorite classical poses - guiding you through safe alignment and smooth transitions. It is not a yoga routine, and requires prior warm up depending on the complexity of each asana. Each pose is demonstrated only on one side, so please, don’t forget to do it on the other. The idea is to offer some valuable alignment and energetic tips on how to progress from simple to complex asana, while enjoying a safe and pain-free practice.
