Why: This challenging balancing pose uses your natural body weight to strengthen the core for better overall posture.
Sit on the floor with your legs straight in front of you. Press your hands on the floor a little behind your hips, fingers pointing toward the feet, and lean back slightly, keeping your core engaged and your back straight. Exhale and bend your knees, lifting your feet off the floor so your thighs make a 45-degree angle. Stay here for the modified pose.
To enter the full pose, slowly straighten your knees and point your toes upward until you create a "V" shape with your body. Stretch your arms alongside the legs, parallel to each other and the floor. If this is too difficult, keep your hands on the floor beside your hips or hold on to the backs of your thighs. Stay in the pose for 10 to 20 seconds and increase time with practice.
