This class explores Vatayānāsana (Horse Pose) step by step, beginning with Half Lotus placement at the wall. The supporting leg is externally rotated like a frog leg, heel heavy on the floor whether lifted or grounded. Students first focus only on the foundation—upright torso, lengthened tail, and lifted navel—before adding arms. Two Half Lotus variations are discussed: one where the heel is drawn toward the navel, and another where the foot rests in the groin crease with the knee rotated outward. The second version, though more awkward, is the one suited for this pose. Props like wall support or extra knee padding are encouraged, especially at the start. Once upright balance is established, the arms are added: reaching high overhead, then practicing the forward flip movement while keeping as vertical as possible. The non-Lotus foot can be walked closer in to increase challenge. The takeaway: Vatayānāsana is not rushed but researched through Half Lotus dexterity, upright stability, and stepwise arm work, turning an awkward stance into a steady balance.
