The posture is supposedly the 'Half Lotus Toe Balance' or 'Padangustha Padma Utkatasana', and it requires a great amount of flexibility and muscular strength. That is, if performed on earth with full force of gravity. In space, though, things would be a whole lot different.
When Baba Ramdev or Shilpa Shetty flaunt their yoga skills and demonstrate the most unusual asanas, it seems quite doable, thanks to the ease with which they do them. But once you try it, and get going you realise how difficult it can be. However, there’s one place where any complex yoga asana is easy-breezy! Well, you might need to travel a lot, but trust the experts it’s easier doing yoga up there.
If you’re thinking about the your terrace, then think again. It’s not the North Pole or Mt Everest either. In fact, you need to go a little higher, rather much much much higher…into space!
“yoga poses sure are easier without gravity”.
