I am a beginner to intermediate level of yoga student. I have done yoga since I was a kid (off and on). This family yoga class has a lot of great basics and the teacher throws in these poses I have never done before as well. We basically did a tree pose and then went into a forward bend. The closest link I can find has it as a "bound half lotus". If you can do a half lotus standing I find the bend forward is easier from this postion than from the tree. (foot on upper thigh). We simply bent forward however. We did not wrap one arm around our back to reach for our toe! YIKES! That looks hard! :) As the site says, don't FORCE yourself into half lotus. You will injure your knees and you don't want that!
