About the Pose
This pose is included as an inversion in the event that you’re not able to invert. It is a good stretch for your spine because you traction your entire back by pushing your hands forward and pulling your sitting bones back. It is a great pose to practice anywhere because all you need is a wall or the edge of a desk to release your lower back tension.
Benefits from the Pose
This pose targets the deep muscles surrounding your spine, tractioning them and helping to release their accumulated tension, resulting in a more aligned back.
By encouraging expansion across your chest and upper back, this posture helps open your shoulders and melt away accumulated stress and tightness in that area.
