Take your left leg over the other and stabilise it at a 90-degree angle. Slide the right leg beneath it and stretch it straight. Put the right hand on the floor, palm facing the mat with fingers wide open, and use the left hand to hold your right foot. Bend forward a little and lift yourself, balancing your entire body on your right hand. Hold steady for a few seconds before releasing the pose.

Benefits Of Bala Parsva Bhuja Dandasana

Whenever Shilpa Shetty mentions anything related to a yoga pose, she always makes a point to mention its benefits.

Bala Parsva Bhuja Dandasana also has a few advantages if you practise it correctly:

• Strengthens the arms, wrists, shoulders, and core muscles.
• Opens the hips and improves flexibility in the spine, legs, thighs, and hamstrings.
• Stimulates the digestive and reproductive systems.
• Improves focus, concentration, and willpower.

If you are injured or if the pose causes any strain in your back or muscles, it is better to avoid attempting it without the supervision of an expert who can guide you properly.
