The health benefits of the boat pose
Honestly, there are so many ways in which this asana can improve your health. Shilpa talks about those too! She informs us that, “It helps strengthen the core and hip flexors. It also strengthens and improves flexibility in the hip joints and legs. It stimulates abdominal organs and improves digestion while improving the steadiness of the body…”
Want to know how you can get into the boat pose? Follow these steps:
Step 1: Lie down on the yoga mat. Keep your legs straight and your arms by your sides.
Step 2: Take a deep breath and while you exhale, lift your legs off the floor. Simultaneously lift your torso and arms off the ground as well. Ensure your arms are stretched towards your legs and not towards the ceiling.
You might find the balancing act slightly difficult in the beginning but will be able to hold it well after a couple of tries!
