In our everyday lives, our legs and trunk play pivotal roles, offering indispensable support, mobility, balance and posture. The legs and the trunk work in harmony to enable movement, house some vital organs, lend support to the spine, and assist in breathing, too.

Here, we introduce a posture that not only nurtures the legs and the trunk but also extends benefits to the upper back, the neck and the arms.

METHOD

⚑ Position a chair against a wall and sit on it.

⚑ Fold your legs sideways and maintain an upright posture.

⚑ Bring your knees as close as possible.

⚑ Position your hips on the mat; ensure the legs and the feet are parallel to your thighs.

⚑ Grasp the chair from both sides with your hands.

⚑ Gradually elevate your hips, leaning on the chair for support.

⚑ Align your upper back against the chair's seat.

⚑ Extend both arms upward, stretching them along the chair's frame.

⚑ Press your forearms against the chair's frame, palms facing upwards.

⚑ Firmly grip the chair, lower your hips back on to the mat.

⚑ Hold this posture for approximately two minutes.

⚑ Maintain a slow and steady breathing pattern.

⚑ Repeat this sequence and revel in the newfound sense of balance and tranquility.
