Purvottanasana and Viparita Dandasana: from Independent to Supported

This series leads to a some deeply restorative and rejuvenative positions that are fully supported by two bolsters placed perpendicular to each other. We call them ‘cross bolsters. But to fully appreciate these supported positions, it is important to understand the classical asanas from where they have been derived.

In this session, we look at two such asanas: purvottanasana and vipartia dandasana.
