1. Helps improve spine health
Ardha Matsyendrasana is a twisting pose that helps increase the flexibility of the spine and strengthen the back muscles. Regular practice can improve the range of motion and improve your spinal health.
2. Helps reduce stress and tension
The gentle twist of Ardha Matsyendrasana helps release tension from the spine, shoulders, and neck, which are common areas where stress accumulates. Practising this pose can lead to a feeling of relaxation and mental clarity, reducing overall stress and anxiety levels.
3. Helps improve posture
Regular practice of this pose can help correct posture by realigning the spine. It promotes an upright posture, which is essential for preventing back pain and maintaining overall body alignment.
4. Helps in digestion
The twisting motion of this pose stimulates the digestive organs, including the stomach, liver, and kidneys. It helps improve digestion, alleviate constipation, and detoxify the body by aiding in the removal of waste products.
5. Increases flexibility
Ardha Matsyendrasana stretches the muscles around the hips, shoulders, and neck, improving overall flexibility. Increased flexibility helps prevent injuries during other physical activities and daily movements.
