Head to Knee Pose - Janu Sirsasana Is the Yoga Pose of the Week

When the weather is hot, it's nice to include some cooling, restorative poses in your practice. To this end, I offer you a supported version of janu sirsasana. You will need a bolster, firm pillow (couch cushions will work), or a number of folded blankets. Set your legs up for the pose and then place your bolster longways over your extended leg. When you forward fold, drape your torso completely over the bolster. Turn your head to one side, resting your cheek on the bolster and let your arms relax to the floor. Stay for several minutes on each side for full effect.
