Parvatasana (Mountain pose)


Get down on all fours like an animal. Inhale. Exhaling, lift off hips. Keeping the palms flat on the ground, push down both heels to stretch the legs completely. Push down at the shoulders so the head drops further down. While making all these adjustments, continue breathing normally. Hold for a few seconds. Relax back on all fours. Repeat thrice.

Benefits: Parvatasana is part of the sun salutation series and the most powerful healing pose in yoga. It impacts the knees by strengthening the legs. By toning the abdomen, it helps take the weight off the hips. It is an entire body workout, releasing energy flow superbly.
