How to guide: ‘flip the shoulder’ in Dancers Pose - Natarajasana - safely using a strap

This is also applicable to Full King Pigeon Pose!

Grab a strap and make sure you’re warm before attempting this posture! You can use a wall if your balance feels off as your standing leg will need to support you through the movement - keep your elbow super close into your body so your shoulder is fully supported.

Remember to give some slack to the strap when your should or elbow starts to feel any sensation of pulling - please don’t force this one! You wrap the strap around the top of the foot that you’re lifting up, hold your hand so your palm is facing AWAY from your body, and then bring your hand forward whilst keeping the elbow hugged tight into the side of your body. Watch the video for the demo and feel free to use the wall for assisted balance.
