Half Lotus (Ardha Padma) Asanas for the Experienced Beginner Level

the ardha padma leg position – taking one leg in the padmasana position – is not merely a halfway stop to full padmasana.  There are many asanas that are based on the ardha padma position.  This session draws interesting connections with standing asanas as preparatory positions, and then explores some of these ardha padma (half lotus) asanas.
