Akarna Dhanurasana, basically translates to Toward-the-ear-bow pose, but is better described as the Archer’s pose resembling an archer ready to release his bow. It is a seated pose which greatly strengthens your arms and torso while sculpting abs. It is very helpful for dancers and athletes who requires higher hip mobility, flexibility and range of motion.
The pose is highly effective in improving seated balance and adding grace to the stride. While improving core strength, it also provide relief in constipation. Practising it regularly will gift you an athletic strong built. However, it must be avoided in hamstring injuries as the pose stretches hamstrings and might worsen your condition.
Always check with your doctor or prenatal care provider before beginning any exercise program.
