Elephant Trunk Yoga Pose

The next pose if you’re feeling adventurous at home and you have a couple of yoga blocks or phone books that you can use, you’ll want to start by placing your yoga blocks or phone books even with your hips. This is called elephant trunk pose and in a minute you’ll see why. So you place your hands squarely on your blocks or phone books, and then you’re going to want to take one leg up as high as you can above the elbow on one arm. So you don’t have to lift your leg behind your head, just above the elbow as far up toward the shoulder as possible, and then flexing your feet, pressing against to the blocks, lifting up. This is elephant trunk pose. If you’re feeling kind of energetic you could always hook the straight leg over the bent leg and come into side crow. And then to come out, coming back to center and then coming down. The first stage of elephant trunk. Second stage.
