The Elephant’s Trunk Pose is an advanced arm balance. One leg is outstretched while the other is wrapped over your upper arm as you balance on both hands. This pose builds strength, flexibility, and balance.
It is most likely to be found in an advanced yoga class.To release this position, on an exhale, slowly lower your buttocks and leg down onto the floor. Return to easy pose (Sukhasana), take 3-5 breaths then repeat on the other side.
All in all, the elephant’s trunk pose or Eka Hasta Bhujasana is a great pose to start with if you are wanting to work on yoga arm balance poses.Thread your right arm underneath your right knee and place your hand on the ground with the fingers pointing forward. Place your left hand on the ground outside your left hip on an equal plane with your right.
Walk your right leg up your right arm until the crease of your knee comes to rest on your right triceps.Eka Hasta Bhujasana, Elephant’s Trunk Pose Counter Poses In yoga we use a counter pose in a sequence; For example, a twist follows a backbend to “neutralise” the spine, or a forward bend follows a backbend to help lengthen the spine and calm the nervous system.Physical Benefits.

In Elephant’s trunk pose (Eka Hasta Bhujasana), you put your leg on to your arms or shoulder and your body look same as an elephant trunk, so that’s why this asana named so and this Yoga Pose is also known as one leg over arm/shoulder.

Arm balance poses like leg-over-shoulder pose (eka hasta bhujasana), cock pose (kukutasana), and crow pose (kakasana), which physically connect the legs and upper extremities, can delightfully awaken and direct the energy in the pelvis and navel center, and draw it up into higher energy centers in the heart, throat, and head.Eka Hasta Bhujasana it is derived from the combination of the Sanskrit words Eka (One),Hasta (hand),Bhuja (arm), asana (posture or pose). The reason for the name Eka Hasta Bhujasana is, this pose resembles the position of the Elephant Trunk. It is called as Elephant Trunk Poseor One leg over shoulder Pose in English.

I have one question: how can I do these challenging poses? How should I practice? Is it flexibility problem? Power problem? Or it’s just matter of time and practice?
Thanks for the tips. It’s really useful. I personally find eight angle to be easier than elephant trunk, I was able to get into eight angle almost right away… but elephant trunk has only become more accessible recently… after a month of core strengthening exercises…
It was super nice! �� Thank you so much! �� I will be waiting for your next videos! ����
Very basic but would be interested in tips for mastering tree pose
Great video Annie! Once again, I love how you start with warm up exercises in your tutorials before you jump into whichever position you’re demonstrating that day. It’s helpful for me as a beginner. I’ve been busy with school and work so I haven’t commented in a little while, but I hope you are doing well and that you’re staying safe:)
I tried it and I was sure I wouldn’t be able to do but I was.. For like 3 seconds:))
Is it easier than a full L-sit? I’ve been working on that, but I can’t hold it for too long. I’ll try this, maybe it’s easier with only one leg extended >.<
I am laughing because I was one of those comments about short arms. Now after daily practice I am indeed not short armed and able to lift up. Mind 6 months later. Thanks Kassandra.
I love these kind of tutorial for perfectionin’ my poses…there are two difficult,for me, poses I’d like to do correctly:peacock and visvamitrasana…can u do a tutorial about these two hard poses? thanks and namasté
Wow. This is a fun exercise. I am more flexible than I thought; however, I have a lot of work to do. It is incredible that you can maintain balance and push yourself off the floor while in that position. Do you have any suggestions for stretching the shoulder muscles and upper back? Thank you for everything you do
