The Eight Angle Pose is a challenging arm balancing pose that works on core strength, mental focus, flexibility, and endurance power.
Forward Bend
Crane/Crow Pose (Bakasana/Kakasana)
In this pose, the body resembles a crane dabbling in the water. While practicing this asana we balance the weight of the body on our arms. This helps in toning and strengthening the arms, wrists, and shoulders.
Bound Angle Pose (Baddha Konasana)
A grounding pose that works toward activating the Mooladhara or the Root Chakra. Baddha Konasana (Baddhakoṇāsana) is an effective hip-opening asana that stimulates the pelvic region along with the spine, hamstrings, knees, and ankles.
Big Toe Pose (Padangusthasana)
This a standing forward bend in which we reach for our toes with our hands while keeping our knees locked. This simple asana deeply stretches our hamstrings and lower back, boosting blood circulation in our entire body. It calms the mind and helps us become more flexible.
Downward Facing Dog Pose (Adho Mukha Svanasana)
Possibly the most recognized asana in the world of yoga, Adho Mukha Svanasana (Adho Mukha Śvānāsana) is a full-body stretch that rejuvenates the body, mind, and spirit. Mastering this pose allows us to explore a range of advanced yoga asanas, especially yoga inversions like Headstands.
