Boat Pose - Naukasana
This balancing yoga pose will help kids to de-stress and revitalise.
How to do:
- Lie down flat with feet aligned together and arms on the sides.
- Keep the arms and fingers outstretched in the direction of the toes.
- Inhale and while exhaling, lift the chest and feet off the ground to form a ‘V’ shape.
- This will build tension and stretch in the core.
- The weight of the body will solely rest on the hips.
- The eyes, hands, and toes should align straight.
- Hold the breath and retain the posture for a few seconds.
- Exhale slowly while bringing the body down to the neutral position. And relax.
Benefits: Strengthens the core, arm muscles, shoulders, and thighs; it is excellent for the liver and kidneys; helps reduce constipation and alleviates digestive problems.
Cautions: If your kid suffers from any chronic disease or spinal cord problems, avoid the pose.
