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.
Asanas
Cow Face Pose (Gomukhasana)
Cow Face Pose stretches the arms, shoulders, chest, and triceps and at the same time, it activates various muscle groups in the legs as well.
Cow Pose (Bitilasana)
Cow Pose is often practiced as the counter-pose of the Cat Pose. These two poses work towards gently loosening up the spine and releasing tension in the neck and shoulders areas.
Corpse Pose (Savasana)
While practicing the Corpse Pose (Savasana), the idea is to imitate the stillness of a corpse while keeping your mind fully conscious. This kind of conscious relaxation revives both, the body and mind, although, we realize it’s harder to keep the mind still as compared to your body.
Chair Pose (Utkatasana)
Chair Pose is a standing pose that works on the entire body, strengthening the arms, shoulders, back, hips, thighs, knees, and ankles. Specifically, it activates the thigh muscles because while practicing this asana we have to sit on an imaginary chair with our arms lifted up.
