For our yoga pose of the week honoring National Yoga Month, we bring you Boat Pose. You can find our other poses from the month here, here, and here!
The benefits of this pose are many:
- Strengthens the abdomen, hip flexors, and spine
- Stimulates the kidneys, thyroid and prostate glands, and intestines
- Helps relieve stress
- Improves digestion
Here’s how to do it:
Sit up high and straight, hands beneath your knees. Slowly tighten your abs and lift your feet off the floor, knees bent, with your legs at a 45-degree angle. If this feels easy, straighten your legs and arms. Breathe and slowly lower.
