Are there any benefits to putting your leg behind your head or is it just a circus trick? _ If you’ve ever tried, you know that perhaps it’s a bit of both. The journey of trying is more important than if you ever manage to actually put the leg behind the head. And, just because you can achieve the physical pose doesn’t mean you’ve learned the deeper lesson of yoga. _ So if you’re working on this asana, my advice to you is to be patient and focus on the subtlety of the inner work. Find and trust your body intelligence and don’t force it. Work with good technique and no expectation. Then, one day, after many years, you’ll find a way to be friends with you body whether or not your leg ever finds its way to being behind the head. _ Day 10 of the #totalbodyflexibility is Eka Pada Sirsasana.
