What Does
Pose Dedicated To Sage Kasyapa Mean?
Pose dedicated to Sage Kasyapa is a combination of side plank pose and half lotus pose on one leg with a bind, but the fact that the hip is not flexed makes the bind more challenging to achieve.
From a side plank position with one hand down on the ground, the leg closest to the ground comes into a half lotus position with the hip still extended, and the top arm reaches around behind the back to take hold of the big toe or foot.
Pose dedicated to Sage Kasyapa may also be referred to by its Sanskrit name, Kasyapasana.
