Upavistha - seated
Kona - angle
Seated Angle Pose
- Stretches the back and insides of the legs
- Improves circulation in the pelvic region
- Lifts uterus, tones and improves circulation to reproductive organs. This may benefit symptoms related to menstrual cramps, fibroid tumors, and endometriosis
- Lengthening in the spine, lower back and legs can help improve pain from herniated discs and sciatica
- In the supported forward-bend variation this pose may be calming to the endocrine system
Contraindications:
- Those with lower-back injury may need to sit with the pelvis lifted up on a blanket and will need to be aware of keeping the spine lengthened and relatively straight
