The Most Important Yoga Pose if You're on the
Go
The Best Daily Yoga Pose
Discover the most important basic yoga pose,
and how it can benefit your daily life.
With over 84, 000 poses in yoga to choose from
for practice, yoga enthusiasts and practitioners might be
left confused on just which ones are the most
important.
With our daily demands and commitments, most of us might not
have the time to perform so many poses therefore we should
focus on the one that is of the most benefit for daily practice
and that is the Shoulder-Stand (known in Sanskrit as
Savangasana).
 It is my recommended favorite of the inverted
poses. Its ease and reminder that as a kid, you tried it
before, makes it one that I emphasize even more so than
the Headstand you might be familiar with as they share
almost if not all the same benefits without the fear of
standing on your head.
Inverted poses reverse the action of gravity on the body.
Instead of everything being pulled towards the feet, the
orientation shifts towards the head. On emotional levels the
Shoulder Stand turns everything upside down throwing a new
light on old patterns of behavior.
It improves health, reduces stress and anxiety and increases
mental power and also increases self confidence. In addition,
the abdominal organs, liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys and
pancreas receive a powerful massage helping them work
better.
In Sanskrit, Sarvanga means all parts so as the name
suggests, it affects all the bodily organs. It stimulates the
thyroid gland, balancing the circulatory, digestive, nervous,
reproductive and endocrine systems. It is indeed a panacea, a
cure all. Obesity and corpulence are alleviated by this pose as
well as constipation and enlargement of the liver and the
spleen.
It is best practiced with its counter poses in specific
durations for maximal efficiency and when planned correctly,
the whole sequence could take less than 6 minutes to carry out,
depending on your schedule.
Personally, I make the point as a practitioner to
incorporate the sequence into my daily regimen with other forms
of exercise, but I always place the most emphasis on this one
pose for all the benefits above.
So next time when you are unsure of which pose you have to
include in your session when you are on the go, make it a point
to go for the Shoulder-Stand. Your body will thank you for
it.
