dancer pose

One-legged yoga balance

Dancer pose is a standing yoga posture where the practitioner balances on one leg while grasping the opposite foot behind the body and extending it upward, creating an arch in the back.

The free arm typically reaches forward for balance.

Also called natarajasana, after the Hindu deity Shiva in his dancing form.

She held dancer pose for thirty seconds before wobbling.
