Thank you Aki. I can’t believe how different doing the pose this way felt. It feels better this way.
Beautifully demonstrated. Thanks.
You could also mention that if you have lower back pain, one of the reasons is tight hamstring. This asana is extremely helpful in lengthening the hamstrings and therefore, relieving lower back ache.

Thanks, Aki, for sharing this with us. You really have a special gift for bringing out the essence of the asana you demonstrate. I enjoy the Ekhart Yoga channel every day, and wonder if Aki will do a full sequence/class. Until then, sat nam.
