Scale Pose - Tolasana Is the Yoga Pose of the Week

Sunday August 3, 2008
I have been calling this pose pendant pose or lolasana for a long time, but I recently discovered that this version with the legs in lotus is actually called scale pose - tolasana. I apologize for leading you astray. Pendant pose is similar, but the legs are lifted off the ground while tucked up underneath the body with the ankles crossed. Pendant is, in my humble opinion, much harder.
