Awareness

This pose is somewhat painful for me being my left hamstring is very tight. So when I have my right foot up I really need to concentrate my breath to my left hamstring to relax and loosen up. Doing this pose also requires a great deal of balance so when I did this asana I had to also concentrate on my breath to keep a steady balance. Because I used a modification in this pose, I was able to have more balance because I had two hands that were reaching and extending into the ground.
