Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana)
This asana increases the flexibility of your spine. A healthy spine inevitably means a healthy nervous system. Thus, with the help of this asana, the sense of balance and coordination is increased. The Bridge Pose is also beneficial in reducing anxiety, mild depression, insomnia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Wide-Angle Seated Forward Bend (Upavistha Konasana)
An excellent asana to prepare for all the advanced wide-legged standing or seated poses, Upavistha Konasana stretches the legs while simultaneously strengthening the back muscles.
Upward Plank Pose (Purvottanasana)
This asana strengthens the arms, wrists, shoulders, neck muscles, abdomen, thighs, calves, and ankles. It improves the shoulder joints’ mobility and expands the chest to increase the lung capacity.
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.
