Intermediate-Level Bhujapidasana

1. Use two blocks approximately 4 inches high.  

2. Bring the knees out and the feet for- ward and toward each other.

3. Place the arms at the inside of the knees, fingers facing forward, elbows bent 30 degrees.  

4. If the blocks are too low, it will prompt falling forward. If they are too high, the next part will be impossible. Put more and more weight on the palms, lifting first one foot and then the other.  

5. If it is impossible to lift both feet, place only the fingertips on the blocks and try again. If this does not accomplish the objective, then raise feet one at a time, breathing calmly for 10 seconds with each foot.  

6. Otherwise do this once with both feet aloft for 10-20 seconds, interlocking ankles.
