R for "Rajakapotasana"

This blog post is written as part of A to Z Challenge. This involves the challenge of a blog post on a topic starting with an alphabet on each day through the entire month of April excluding Sundays starting from A to Z. My simple posts will be themed after Yoga postures with my own creations as images.

Rajakapotasana (Royal pigeon pose) stretches the quadricepses and chest simultaneously. It also helps in crunching the spine stretching the ankles.

Q for "Quad stretch pose" (Natarajasana)

This blog post is written as part of A to Z Challenge. This involves the challenge of a blog post on a topic starting with an alphabet on each day through the entire month of April excluding Sundays starting from A to Z. My simple posts will be themed after Yoga postures with my own creations as images.

Natarajasana (Quad stretch pose/Lord of the dance pose) opens the ribs, hips and gives the best possible stretch for the quadricepses. It is also one of the best pose to increase balancing and stability.
