Getting into Posture:

 

1. Beginning in Tadasana, mountain pose at the top of your mat, step your left leg back about 4 feet apart from your front foot, with the foot slightly pointing in and the front foot facing the top of the mat.

Check the front heel is in line with the back heel. Externally rotate your right thigh so that the front knee is in line with your ankle.

2. On your next exhale bending from the hip; begin to lengthen your torso over the front leg, ensuring to ground the outer edge of the back foot into the floor. Rotate your torso outwards and ensure that you are keeping both sides of the body long.

3. Here you can rest your hand on the inner edge of your right shin, or onto a block while lengthening your left arm up, gazing at your left hand. Try to relax the neck.

In Europe for four and a half months and this was easily the best accommodation I stayed at. The staff were all friendly and really turned into a big family and the whole place has a really good vibe about it. Ideal place to stay for everyone, no matter if you want to navigate in Lagos or just have fun. We ended up staying for an extra few days. I definitely recommend! Julie & Charlotte San Fransisco
My teenage daughter and I stayed here in August 2011. It was a fantastic place to stay, very clean, rooms were stylish and the pool was great. The staff were really friendly and helpful and we can not wait to go back again. I would definitely recommend it, a real find! Erica Norway
