| Balancing stick pose |
Benefits:
Balancing Stick (Tuladandasana) gets broken down nicely in the image above. Part of Bikram Yoga’s Standing Series, this posture provides the following benefits:
^ Increases cardiovascular circulation, especially to the heart blood vessels
^ May help to clear blocked arteries
^ May help prevent future cardiac problems
^ Relieves stress from the spine
^ Good for varicose veins
^ Builds strength in the legs
^ Exercises the pancreas, spleen, liver, nervous and circulatory system
^ The forward tilt of your torso sends high-speed blood pouring into the heart, especially
the neglected region, cleaning out the veins and all the arteries and strengthening the heart
muscle.
^ The same rejuvenating flood rushes into the brain, as well.
^ It strengthens your powers of concentration.
Tips for Balancing Stick Pose:
^ Keep both knees locked and stomach in
^ Point the toes of the leg that is stretched toward the back wall
^ Remember to “look for your front foot in the mirror”
^ Keep the arms with the ears. No Gap.
“Pull yourself apart in opposite directions like a natural human tug of war”
