Beginner’s Tip
We usually do not breathe knowingly as well as completely right into the back of the upper body. Balasana gives us with an exceptional opportunity to do simply that. Envision that each breathing is ‘doming’ the back upper body toward the ceiling, extending and widening the spine. With each exhalation release the upper body a bit more deeply into the fold.

A companion could aid you lengthen the ‘dome’ shape of your back in this posture. Have your partner stand to one of your sides. He or she needs to put one hand on your sacrum (fingers aiming toward the tailbone) as well as the various other practical your mid-back (fingers pointing towards your head). As you breathe out, your partner can push gently down (towards the flooring) as well as, without physically moving the hands, scrub them in contrary directions.
