Dandayamana – Dhanurasana

Standing Bow Pulling Pose

Like Standing Head to Knee, this pose helps develop concentration, patience and determination. Physically it develops balance, firms the abdominal wall and thighs, and tightens upper arms, hips, and buttocks. It increases the size and elasticity of the rib cage and the lungs and improves the flexibility and strength of the lower spine, legs, hips and shoulders.
