Skandasana is considered one of the more challenging asanas, but mastering it opens up a new level of flexibility and strength.
Benefits for the body:
deep opening of the hip joints and increased range of motion
strengthening the back of the thighs and the inner legs, giving them tone and a leaner appearance
relieving tension in the lower back and helping to prevent sciatic nerve pinching
improving circulation in the pelvic area, which supports healthy intestinal and reproductive function
Practice tips: In this asana, it is crucial to maintain awareness and avoid overstretching the ligaments. Move gently and gradually, allowing the body to sink deeper with each breath.
Contraindications: Avoid practicing if you have hip or lower back injuries.
Regular practice of Skandasana will bring lightness and mobility to the body, and calm and focus to the mind.
