Padahastasana

Hand-to-foot-pose with active stretching in back and legs

On a deeper level, swadhisthana chakra is the seat of the individual and collective unconscious; it is the deposit of all samskara, mental impressions of the past stored in the form of archetypes. It is the center of the most primitive and most deeply rooted instincts of mankind. By purifying this center, animal nature is transcended. For concentration on this center you visualize a vast, deep ocean with dark waves under a night sky. The tides of the ocean represent the flow and reflux of awareness.
