Head-to-Knee the Janusirsasana

The Janusirsasana, Head-to-Knee, is a classic Yoga pose that is a great way to strengthen the back, core, and legs while also improving flexibility. It has many benefits including better posture, improved digestion, energized spine and hips, and a peaceful mind. The name comes from Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and endings, because this pose looks like the bow of a boat and can be seen as an invitation to dive deeper into your practice.
