Ashwa Sanchalasana or equestrian pose or horse pose is the fourth step of Surya Namaskar.

Here you extend your right foot backwards from padahastasana pose.

The Procedure for Ashwa Sanchalasana

1. Come to Padahastasana Pose. I.e. stand erect and place your hands palms down on ground on either side of feet while not bending your knees.

2. Extend your right foot backwards while keeping the left knee before your arms. Look straight in front of you.

Ashwa Sanchalasana stimulates all your internal organs. Ashwa sanchalasana stretches and strengthens your muscles at leg. It increases mental alertness and helps mind focus on any single point.
