Navasana - Boat Pose
Did I told you that Navasana or boat pose is the pose that I hate. It is easy to get into but very hard pose to hold to; after second breath, my back starts to round and my legs and torso gradually sink towards the floor.
Navasana is one of the seated pose that occurs just before back-bends in Half Primary Ashtanga Yoga. The pose is held 5 breaths and it is repeated five times in a row with a lift of the body off of the floor in between each repetition. From the beginning to the end of pose the legs should not touch the floor.
Navasana is beneficial for the spine, the abdominals are also strengthened and toned helping to increase digestive functions. It is said that practicing this posture regularly increases metabolism, boosts the immunity system, and strengthens core muscles and back. Whatever!
You see, today you have learned about Yoga Navasana pose. Isn't that great 😉
