Wake up and Loosen up with TOLASANA

Hi friends,

Today we will continue with "The SCALE Pose".

                                     Health tip of the day: TOLASANA

                                                      Tolasana

Tolasana is an arm balancing pose. The name comes from the Sanskrit word Tola meaning to scale or balance and asana meaning posture.

How to do Tolasana:

• Sit erect on a flat surface.
• Move to Padmasana pose. (Refer my post on how to do Padmasana  http://yourdailyyoga.blogspot.com/2017/12/fitness-tip-of-day.html )
• Place your arms on either side of your knees with palms touching the ground.
• Now giving pressure to your shoulders and moving the whole body weight to your arms lift your body off the ground.
• Look straight and stay in this pose as long as you are comfortable.
• Repeat this asana for 5 to 10 minutes daily.

Benefits of Tolasana :

• Strengthens your arms, shoulder blades.
• Improves concentration and balancing power.
• Stretches your muscles.

Important Note :

Please avoid this asana if you suffer from knee, arm or thigh injuries.

"Your body is your Temple. Keep it clean and healthy."
