Why is Dandasana crucial for learning inversions? . . Dandasana is a great pose to develop core, upper back strength and functional hamstring flexibility at the same time. Being able to sit upright with the core and back muscles engaged in the L position is crucial for learning inversions and more advanced asana. By mastering this pose the core muscles, paraspinals and erector spinae become healthy enough to support the body upside down. This pose should be mastered before attempting the lifted variation as seen in my previous post, as well as any inversions. . Benefits: * Strengthens the back muscles. * Stretches the shoulders and chest. * Improves posture.
Haters will say the bird is photoshopped.
5 Benefits of Down Dog: 1. Strengthens the Arms and Shoulders. 2. Calms the Mind and can Help to Relive Stress and Tension. 3. Tones the Core and Waist 4. Stretches the Hamstrings and Calves. 5. Stretches the Spine and Strengthens the Back Incorporating down dog into your regular practice can have all these benefits and more when performed with correct alignment. Make sure you’re lifting enough to access the length of the spine, even if it requires you to elevate the hands higher than blocks. Often for newer students who are less flexible I’ll introduce this pose with hands on a chair seat, or kitchen counter to help achieve the essence of the pose.
