My theme for this year’s  #atozchallenge is – 26 Yogasana. So brace yourself for 26 days of stretching, backbends and inversions, as I take you along my upside down evenings, sincerely hoping that you will find these posts helpful ð
Navasana or Boat Pose
Navasana or the Boat Pose is an awesome core building asana that you can do just about anywhere. It looks so simple but when you have to hold it for long, you can start feeling all the hidden muscles in your abdomen and legs and arms. This pose will make you aware of your breathing, while strengthening your abdominal muscles to support the lower back. Check out my video as I play with half and full Navasana.
Keep your back straight, engage your core and you are ready to row the boat.

Hello there, just became alert to your blog through
Google, and found that it is truly informative. I’m going to watch out for
brussels. I’ll be grateful if you continue this in future.
A lot of people will be benefited from your writing.
Cheers!
Abdominal muscles, PLUS the thighs, I would guess! I think I will give this a try.
Btw, I’m lagging behind even more. But will catch up. Do visit my N post.
Happy AtoZing!

This is a great core exercise. I will have to try it, I’m sure it takes time to master.
So great to see you do it! Great one, Raj ð
Oh I still remember, how this one always used to take away my breaths! And I always wanted to procrastinate on this one!
Cheers
Wow! That’s a neat pose!! And that’s because YOU are doing it!!
This is one of my favorite asans. Look like an easy one but not exactly.
You’re not even rocking your boat! ð Love the stillness and the core strength!
I think if I were to try this I might never get up again. ð N is for Nuggets and News #atozchallenge
