BENEFITS:

  • Increase cardiovascular circulation, especially the heart blood vessels
  • May help clear blocked arteries
  • May help prevent future cardiac problems
  • Brings traction to the spine
  • Good for varicose veins
  • Builds strength in legs
  • Exercises pancreas, spleen, liver, nervous and circulatory system

 

TIPS:

  • Pay close attention to the setup, try not to rush
  • Work towards keeping both hips in one line (be aware of dropping the hip of the kicking leg)
  • Keeping the limbs (knees and elbows) straight may seem to make the posture more difficult but it actually makes it much easier to balance
  • Work towards keeping the lower back straight. Keep the abdomen lifted up towards the ceiling during the posture
  • Keep your breathing normal and try to stay calm; this is a fantastic think to do in challenging postures as it builds focus and increases your ability to deal with stress
