advanced level

• aim to bring the torso into a vertical position
• gaze upwards
• pelvis closed
• chest forward and upward
• thigh parallel to the ground
• grip the foot with both hands
• weight on the balancing leg

In this execution, Natarajasana is a challenging backbend with a grip of the foot by both hands, requiring both balance and stability. If the body is inclined forward, the effect of the pose, which involves opening the chest, is lost.
