Before you start with any asana or breathing exercise, it is always advised to start with a warm-up yoga.  

​

Padahastasana is one among the other standing poses.

Benefits:

  • It improves the flexibility of the spine as the spine is stretched with the practice of this asana.

  • It addresses breathing problems and helps to alleviate the sufferings caused due to those breathing disorders.

  • The pose is good for your sciatic nerves.

  • It tones your shoulders, waist, abdomen, thighs, knees as well as hamstrings.

  • It helps reduce excess fat in the back and relieves gastric trouble.

How to do?

  • Standing position keep your legs straight, breath-in raise your arms up and bend back slightly.

  • Breath-out bend forward, keep hands along with your neck, keep your knees straight.

  • If possible touch your feet by fingers or hold your legs wherever possible. Move your head towards the knee or as close as possible.

  • Stay in this position, Do breath-in & out for 3-4 rounds, feel the muscle stretch at your legs, stomach, lower back and spine.

  • Breath-in comes back to normal position. Perform 2-3 rounds to get better results.
