Description
Today’s yoga pose is called the boat pose and it is the best ab work if you want to develop core strength.
Core strength is the vital force that holds you steady in your asana. Without a strong physical centre, every yoga pose you do is in danger of falling apart from the inside out. Core strength is what lets you keep it together.
How does this yoga move or ab workout help? It strengthens your hips, abdominal muscles, tones your thighs and gives you a flat stomach. These abdominal exercises are also excellent for improving body balance and coordination.
This ab workout routine or the navasana yoga pose is an excellent stretching exercise for strengthening your legs and lower back.
This asana opens your chest and increase the lung capacity, it even stimulates your thyroid and in turn increases metabolism.
How to do boat pose:
This is one more variation of boat pose and extremely effective. So same way to begin. Come into the boat pose, reach the arms out, reach the toes, spine nice and straight. And we’re going to slowly stretch the legs out and come into a low boat pose. The chest is still lifted, toes pointing out, back up into a high boat and back down into a low boat. Inhale up, exhale down. Inhale up, exhale down. Repeat as many times as you want. Inhale, exhale. And then, try to move down slowly. So inhale up and exhale slowly and then all the way up. And there you go! This is one of the most effective yoga pose to strengthen the core. Make sure not to compromise the back by slouching. Keep it nice and straight throughout.
