This pose is great for building core strength. It strengthens the chest, shoulders, arms, back, and abdominal muscles. It prepares us for all the advanced asanas that require a strong core and strength in the upper body.
Beginner
Mountain Pose (Tadasana)
Practicing Tadasana regularly helps correct standing posture, allowing us to stand comfortably without any extra pressure on the spine, knees, or ankles. Tadasana also helps us become more alert, enhancing our awareness of the breath.
Head-to-Knee Forward Bend (Janu Sirsasana)
This asana is great for the digestive system. It is highly recommended to those suffering from an enlarged prostate gland. People with high BP, sinus, insomnia, menstrual disorders, or chronic fatigue syndrome, should find benefits in practicing this asana regularly.
Happy Baby Pose (Ananda Balasana)
The Child Pose stretches the spine, inner thighs, groins, hamstrings, and glutes, and it opens up the hip joints. It is also beneficial for the digestive system.
Gate Pose (Parighasana)
Gate Pose tones and strengthens the sides of the torso including arms, armpits, lateral muscles, hips, hamstrings, and spine. It’s a great asana for those who tend to sit for long hours.
