Yoga facilitates the joining or uniting of the mind, body and spirit to enrich the quality of one's life, and to enhance one's health. The Extended Side Angle Pose exemplifies this unity, creating a stretch along the top side 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 groins, spine, waist, chest and lungs, and shoulders
Stimulating abdominal organs
Increased 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.
