Ustrasana is one of the most powerful poses for opening the heart and releasing accumulated tension. It creates a deep stretch through the spine and activates the leg muscles, stimulating the nervous system.
Benefits of practice:
helps open the shoulders and chest
improves posture and relieves tightness in the upper back
normalizes blood pressure
strengthens the abdominal muscles and improves digestion
supports reproductive system health
Practice tip: A common mistake in Ustrasana is excessive arching in the lower back. Instead, focus on gently opening the chest and lengthening the spine. Progress gradually and respect your bodyโs limits.
Contraindications:ย Avoid practicing if you have hyperthyroidism, impaired cerebral circulation, or serious spinal issues.
Regular practice of Ustrasana fills you with energy, improves breathing, and helps you feel light in your body and clear in your mind.
