🏹 Bow Pose – Expand, Energise, and Strengthen 🏹
Dhanurasana, or Bow Pose is a powerful backbend that opens the chest, stretches the entire front body, and strengthens the back, legs, and core. By lifting and lengthening through both the upper and lower body, Dhanurasana creates a dynamic heart opener that builds energy and vitality. It is an uplifting pose that encourages strength, flexibility, and spaciousness throughout the body. 🌿
✨ Why Do We Do It? ✨
Bow Pose strengthens the back, glutes, and legs while opening the chest, shoulders, and hip flexors. It improves posture by counteracting slouching and increases flexibility through the spine. The shape encourages steady breathing and mindful movement, making it a great pose for building both strength and mobility. 🌬️
✨ Benefits ✨
1️⃣ Strengthens the back, glutes, and legs
2️⃣ Stretches the chest, shoulders, and front body
3️⃣ Improves spinal mobility and posture
4️⃣ Opens the hip flexors
5️⃣ Builds full body awareness and control
✨ A Pose of Lift and Openness ✨
In Dhanurasana, press your feet into your hands and lift your chest, feeling the front body expand and the back body strengthen. 🌸 This pose encourages you to find both lift and softness, strength and openness, as you breathe into the spaciousness it creates.
Next time you practice Bow Pose, focus on grounding through your hips, lifting through your chest, and keeping your breath smooth and steady. 💫
