Benefits & Precautions:
The most obvious benefit of the dhanur-asana
is that it restores flexibility to the
spine. Regular practice will relieve lower
back pain and release tension and strain
in the upper back and neck area. The alternating
stretching and releasing of the abdominal
muscles increases blood flow to this area
and aids all sorts of digestive disorders
and discomforts. Strain or fatigue in
the legs is also released after a few
repetitions. Extended practice will help
develop upper-body strength. Do not use
force or jerk while doing this asana.
Hernia and Ulcer patients should not do
this asana.
