Jānu Shīrshāsana (Head to Knee)

About the Pose

This pose is especially good for relieving tension deeply held in your lower back as long as your sacrum is in line with your spine and not poking out the back. Be sure to have enough height underneath you to achieve this. As you contract your quadriceps of your extended leg, it is a good stretch for your hamstrings.

Benefits from the Pose

  1. This pose gently stretches and opens your lower back, helping to release tension and promote a sense of ease and relaxation in your lumbar spine.

  2. As a calming forward fold, this posture encourages inward focus and stillness, offering a soothing effect that can quiet your mind and ease mental stress.
