The Standing Asanas

This group of asanas has a stretching and strengthening effect on the back, shoulders and leg muscles. They are particularly useful for those people who spend a lot of time sitting down, or who have stiffness and pain in the back. Standing asanas improve the posture, balance and muscular coordination. They also strengthen the muscles which keep the back straight during meditation, increase blood oxygenation and lung capacity. Those who suffer from severe back conditions should always consult a competent yoga expert before beginning yoga practice. Observe the precautions and contra-indications advised for each practice.
