30 Types of Yoga Asanas and Their Health Benefits

Staff Pose – Chaturanga Dandasana

This asana is in many ways similar to the well-known plank exercise.

The complexity of the pose depends on the correct execution. It is easy to fool yourself into this asana and make it easier for yourself, but this approach will not be beneficial in the long run.

• Begin this asana from a regular lying position, and then slowly lower your body, bending your elbows.
• Keep your elbows close to your torso.
• The legs are strong and active, the stomach is tucked up, the press works. 
• Do not lift your pelvis or bend at the lower back, keeping your whole body as straight as aboard.
