This is a mid-level forward bend which is practiced by spreading the legs wide and then bending forward. Prasarita Padottanasana is a good preparatory pose for advanced inversions like the Mayurasana and Sirsasana.
Grounding
Upward Facing Dog Pose (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana)
This pose resembles a dog as it stretches itself with its head held high up in the air. It builds spinal flexibility and strengthens the arms, and at the same time, it deeply stretches the pelvic region, thighs, hamstrings and ankles.
Upward Salute Pose (Urdhva Hastasana)
Many of us practice this asana whether we’ve learned yoga or not! It is the first thing we may do in the morning as soon as we step out of the bed – raising the arms and stretching our spine. Urdhva Hastasana energizes the body and brings a certain level of awareness into the system.
Upward Facing Two-Foot Staff Pose (Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana)
This pose is an intense chest opener and at the same time, it gives the spine a powerful stretch, improving spinal mobility, increasing lung capacity, and toning the back muscles.
Tree Pose (Vrikshasana)
This is an asana that replicates the poised and steady posture of a tree. This pose is primarily a balancing pose that helps us enhance our sense of balance physically as well as mentally.
