Akarna Dhanurasana A (Advance B)
Karna means the ear. The prefix ‘A’ express the sense of near to, towards. Dhanu means a bow.
The lifting foot is pulled up till the heel touches the ear as an archer pulls the bow-string. This asana practice is full of grace and makes the legs muscle very flexible and helps to move the bowels.
Typical morning in mysore for ashtangi.
