This asana stretches and tones the chest, neck, shoulders, arms, spine, psoas and piriformis muscles, thighs, abdomen, glutes, and groin area.
It is a powerful asana for the digestive system. Eka Pada Rajakapotasana I stimulates the vital organs as well, enhancing the function of the heart, lungs, liver, stomach, and kidneys.
