The caption of her post also outlined the benefits of this particular asana, stating, "This pose releases any stiffness or tension in the back and deeply stretches the lower body muscles.

How To Perform Ardha Kapotasana:

  1. Begin in a Tabletop position, on all fours.
  2. Move your right knee forward, placing it behind the right wrist. The right ankle should be in front of the left hip, naturally flexed.
  3. Tuck your left toes and gently slide your left foot back to extend the leg. Ensure that your toes point to the back, and the leg is aligned with your body.
  4. Keep your arms resting on the floor.
  5. Hold this pose for 3 to 5 minutes. Then release, take a moment in Child's pose, and repeat on the other side.
