Scale - Tolāsana, Utplutiḥ
Try out this Asana with me?, Health Challenge Invite. Utpluti?
STEPS :
- Either take the legs in to lotus pose, or have them crossed in sukhasana (easy cross-legged pose)
- Make sure the spine is straight – it may be tempting to round the back, but keep reaching up towards the sky here.
- Place the hands on the floor either side of the body and take a breath to prepare.
- Inhale, and on a exhale press the hands in to the floor, engage the abdominal muscles and lift the body up, pulling everything to your centre.
- Take 5-10 breaths here, or however many you can manage!
- On an exhale, slowly lower down to the floor. Notice how much the muscles relax after the strength you’ve just used to lift in to the pose!
Benefits
- Strengthens the wrists, arms, and abdominal muscles
