Benefits

  • Cleanses body by removing stale air and waste products from lungs
  • Brings mental clarity
  • Strengthens abdominal organs and wall
  • Normalises bowels
  • Energises body
  • Improves oxygenation to the body
  • Improves cardiovascular and respiratory systems
  • Good for regulating high blood pressure

Tips:

  • Contrary to popular belief, this pose is much easier if your arms are relaxed and shoulders down

Check that you:

  • Tuck your tailbone under a little bit (with sit bones in front of heels – kind of uncomfortable) so that you create more space in your belly. The force created in your exhales will be greater
