Yoga facilitates the joining or uniting of the mind, body and spirit to enrich the quality of life and enhance health. The Extended Side Angle Pose exemplifies this unity, creating a stretch along the entirety of the body, from the back heel through the raised arm. The benefits of this pose include:
- Strengthening and stretching of the legs, knees and ankles
- Stretching of the groin, spine, waist, chest and lungs, and shoulders
- Stimulating abdominal organs
- Increasing stamina
You should use caution while performing this pose if you have high (or low) blood pressure or insomnia. Learn more about the Extended Side Angle Pose, including a picture of the proper way to complete the pose.
