I've just started working on Utthita Hasta Pandaguthasana in my Ashtanga practice. I love this asana because it reminds me of Standing Head to Knee in the Bikram practice. But what I find most difficult is when you turn your leg in one direction and your gaze in the opposite. Your dristi or where your gaze should fall is Parsva which simply means to the far right or far left. I always lose my balance here. First it seems counter intuitive to look in the opposite direction and then I find it difficult to find a focal point when turning my head. I tried this asana twice before moving on. Definitely something to work on!
