Today it’s rabbit pose or Sasangasana, very wonderfully demonstrated by one of my students.
.
The Posture:
Rabbit pose is the perfect balance to camel pose. The postures work together to deeply stretch and open the spine. Rabbit helps to open the inter-vertebral disks, helping to maintain their spongy nature and absorb shock in spine from daily movement. It helps to stretch the spine so effectively, that with a regular practice, many people report growing up to one inch! The stretch in rabbit is created by the pull on the heels, so it is important to always keep a tight grip in order to create enough force to stretch the spine.
Strengthens abdomen and stretches muscles of the back, shoulders and scapula.
Stimulates thyroid and parathyroid.
