How ToDo TULASANA BENEFITS & STEPS

Tulasana, also known as the Scale Pose or the Lifted Lotus Pose, is a seated balancing posture in yoga. It requires core strength and stability to hold the body in an uplifted position.

Tulasana is derived from the Sanskrit words “tula,” which means balance, and “asana,” which means pose or posture. The name reflects the pose’s emphasis on finding balance and stability.

Benefits:

1- Enhanced Core strength: Tulasana strengthens the abdominal muscles, particularly the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, and obliques.

2- Arm and wrist strength: This pose engages the muscles of the arms and wrists, improving their strength and endurance.

3- Improved balance: Tulasana challenges your balance and requires concentration, enhancing your overall sense of balance and stability.

4- Toned arms and shoulders: Regular practice of Tulasana can help tone and sculpt the muscles of your arms and shoulders.

5- Increased focus and concentration: Balancing poses like Tulasana demand concentration, which can improve your mental focus and presence.

2- Place your hands on the floor beside your hips, with your fingers pointing forward.
