Physical and Therapeutic Benefits of Ustrasana

Ustrasana stretches the entire front body, abdomen, chest, throat, ankles, thighs, groins, and hip flexor. It strengthens muscles in our back and stimulates the organs in the abdomen and neck. Ustrasana helps people improve posture because it allows us to get out of our daily habit to hunch our back and instead, elongates our spine. Ustrasana also opens the heart, helping us with respiration. Backbends are good for relieving depression and are uplifting. It allows blood to flow through kidneys and is helpful for diabetes and dyspepsia.
