Posture number 10 is same as n. 3 Pada-hastasana

Body: Keep the palms on the floor, fingertips in one line with toes. Put second feet between the hands. If you need -bend the knees. Forehead touch the knees. The muscles of stomach are relaxed. Feel the stretching of the back.

              Prostration to Him who stimulates



"Savitre is known as the stimulator (...). Savitre is said to represent the sun before rising, stimulating and arousing man into waking activity, and Surya is said to represent the sun after sunrise, when activity begins. Therefore, in the tenth position, padahastasana, we salute Savitre to obtain the vivifying power of the sun"
