Eka Pada Sirsasana

Eka Pada Sirsasana

Eka means one. Pada is the leg. This variation of Sirsasana is done by lowering one leg to the floor in front of the head, holding the other leg up vertically.

Effects

This is a difficult pose, so it may not be possible to touch the floor in the beginning. Gradually, as the legs become more elastic and the back gets stronger, the legs will touch and then rest on the floor without loss of the head balance. This asana strengthens the neck and also the abdominal walls. The abdominal organs are contracted and made to function well.
