The Urdhva Dhanurasana (Upwards-facing Bow) is a powerful yoga posture primarily for developing strength and flexibility. It stimulates the entire body, expanding the chest, stretching the arms, strengthening the core, and creating a supported backbend. Not only does it release tension, but it teaches the discipline and patience needed to progress through practice. Urdhva Dhanurasana adds energy and drive, awakening creativity, and helping to boost metabolism. It helps to balance the body, mind, and soul, connecting with breath, and creating space. With regular practice comes greater balance and freedom of movement.
