Dandasana (Stick pose)
August 14, 2007
Lie on your stomach. Inhaling, push yourself up, into the classic push-up position so body is rested on palms and toes. Exhaling, lower yourself by bending elbows, but ensure your body remains off the ground, though very close to it. This is an extreme push-up position. Hold for a few seconds. Lower yourself back to the ground and repeat thrice. Later, build up stamina to hold the pose for 15 seconds to one minute.
Avoid: If having any spinal problem, weak wrists, heart ailment or high blood pressure.
Benefits: One of the most challenging poses, it is used in military-style training to build muscle, stamina and mental focus. It strengthens the entire body superbly since it is a powerful resistance-training pose.
