In paschimottanasana C you interlace your fingers , in paschimottanasana D you

grab the wrist - but you should consult Lino Miele's book - that is the best one

ashtanga yoga Posture detail question

 

 

Hello,

I have a question about hand position while in the forward bends of

the primary series. I am clear on intense western facing posture C

that the left hand grabs the right wrist. I have seen many people

practice the wrist grab in other forward bends, such as janu

sirsasana, but I get confused here as to whether this is classical

technique - is the only posture that technically has a wrist grab

paschi. C? I have consulted David Swenson and Beryl Bender Birch's

books for this, and it appears as though interlacing the fingers

around the bottom of the foot is the classical position. Any input?

Does it really matter anyway?

Thanks...
