  • Ardha chakrasana or the half-wheel pose may help to improve flexibility and keep stress at bay. Check out how to do it.

The article from HealthShots discusses the benefits and execution of Ardha Chakrasana, also known as the Half Wheel Pose. This yoga asana stretches and strengthens the chest, shoulders, and abdomen, promoting better posture and flexibility. It is particularly beneficial for those with sedentary lifestyles as it helps counteract the effects of prolonged sitting by opening up the chest and shoulders. The pose also aids in improving digestion, reducing stress, and enhancing lung capacity, which can be advantageous for respiratory health. Instructions for performing Ardha Chakrasana include standing with feet apart, inhaling to raise the arms overhead, arching the back, and looking up while keeping the feet firmly planted. The article suggests modifications for beginners and emphasizes the importance of not over-stretching to prevent injury. Regular practice of this pose can lead to increased energy levels, better spinal health, and an overall sense of well-being.
