Lost Horizon Pose:

The orientation of this pose speaks not only to the natural contradictions around us - the rising of the sun in the East, the setting of the sun in the West, for example - but also to the spiritual contradictions of the wisdom of Eastern philosophies with the Western search for the new. This pose increases the stamina and focus necessary to find balance in these contradictions.
