How the name suits this asana. I have just started exploring this pose in the Advanced classes. It looks like the movement happens in the knee but I feel the stretch in the hip and hip flexor.
If I understand the pose correctly, eventually my foot should be tucked up underneath my rib cage.
Here is what Leg Breaking may look like one day, in the future. I don't know the Sanskrit name for this pose, if anyone knows it and would like to share...
Update September 11: the Sanskrit name is Eka-pada Gokilasana. Thanks Dancing J!

Leg breaking is Gokilasana. I think technically it's Eka-pada Gokilasana for just the one foot. :)
Thanks so much J!
