✨️ Bhujapidasana (arm pressure pose) is an example of how challenging Ashtanga yoga can be.

🏋‍♀️ This asana strengthens the wrists, arms, shoulders, and belly muscles and increases balance.

🥴 Before attempting this posture properly, bending the elbows, and bringing the chin to the floor, you will have to work on hip flexibility and belly muscles...

💪 And most importantly, you want to stop skipping chaturangas...

🪷 In padmasana (lotus) or cross-legged position, exhale, straighten the arms and place the hands on the knees.

👌 Your hands are in jnana mudra position, so your index and thumb tips are touching and the other fingers are straight.

🧘‍♀️ Engage mula bandha (pelvic muscles) an uddiyana bandha (belly in), broaden the chest and bring the chin to the chest.

✨️You are ready to meditate for minutes or hours.
