Here is a condensed version of Shoulderstand Cycle 3 (with a bonus yoga pose to add to your practice)!
Wowweee, is it an intense WAKE UP to the power of musculoskeletal action that creates hip flexion AND knee extension. I often refer to the quads and psoas for hip flexion, but specifically it is the gracilis muscle (one of the four quadriceps) that is involved in both-- hip flexion and knee extension-- simultaneously.
When you practice the final pose in this video, Lotus Lift version of Shoulderstand Prep, you will feel the emphasis of this muscle in action. Of course, it i very much involved in all of the Leg/s Up practices in this video!
#1) Legs Up
#2) Bridge with One Leg Lift // Eka Pada Setu Bandhasana; (eka pada = one foot)
#3) Side Bridge with optional One Leg Lift // Eka Pada Parsva Setu Bandhasana
#4) Lotus Lift // Salama Sarvangasana 3 Prep
Your lower back will feel amazing after this practice. If you have any questions please let me know.

P.S. This is not full Shoulderstand with Lotus Legs; it's a beginner friendly step in that direction. Enjoy!!!
