Do the Dhanurasana bow pose in yoga

The dhanurasana expands the chest, stretches abdominals & shoulders and the quadriceps and strengthenes back and neck. This pose is good for the posture and should be performed by people who sit a lot during work.

Description: Dhanurasana - Yoga Bow Pose

* Lie down on your stomach. Legs and arms extended.
Backhands on the floor. Palms point up.
* Bend you legs and lift your feet, so that your heels are very close to your butt.
* Grab your ankles with both hands. Thumbs point down.
* Increase the stretch by lifting / extending the legs further up and pushing the chest further forward up. Only a small spot of the stomach touches the floor. Keep breathing regulary and look straight forward or slightly up.
