Navasana – Boat Pose (variation)

Benefits:

• improves posture
• strengthens the core

Tips:

• if you feel your lower back engaging in this posture, or if your hip flexors take over, consider keeping your feet on the floor and holding onto your hamstrings as you lean slightly back
• when you build more core strength, lift the feet and reach the arms out alongside the body
• eventually, straighten the legs as well
