Balancing Postures

Balancing postures develop lightness, strength and agility. They also help develop body control, muscle tone, coordination, and concentration. In yoga, the body is gently maneuvered in all directions. Consequently every muscle is stretched and toned. The internal organs are massaged, squeezed, and expanded, improving their general function. The skeletal system is flexed, extended, rotated, and twisted, creating greater joint mobility. The spine is encouraged to maintain a healthy, upright, and painfree condition. The circulation is improved. The breathing capacity and elasticity of the lungs is enhanced.
