Knee care-2

Dr Vishwas Chhabra, Yoga Therapist

This week, we look at the Eagle Pose.

Bend the knees, lift the left foot up and, balancing on the right foot, cross the left thigh over the right. Point left toe toward the floor, press the foot back and then hook the top of the foot behind the right calf. Balance on the right foot.

Stretch the arms straight forward, parallel to the floor, and spread shoulder blade wide across the back of the torso. Cross the arms in front of torso so that the right arm is above the left and then bend the elbows.

Snuggle the right elbow into the crook of the left, and raise the forearms perpendicular to the floor.

The backs of the hands should be facing each other and the palms of each hand facing each other. Now press the palms together (as much as possible), lift elbows and stretch the fingers toward the ceiling.

Stay for 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat with the arms and legs reversed.

Was Noddy racist?

Yes - the golliwogs were always unacceptable

Yes, but it wasn't normal in those days

No, we're too politically correct these days
