Standing Yoga Asanas
Standing yoga poses are indeed a few of the most important poses in one’s yoga practice. They do help to build strength in one’s lower body, and they also help to build active flexibility throughout a person’s hips and upper leg. Yoga asana’s names are unique in their own way.
Standing yoga poses also help maintain balance and control of the deep core muscles of a person’s leg, back, as well as abdomen. Learning how to breathe slowly and comfortably in these active poses can also indeed help the person to be calm and experience equanimity in one’s daily life.
These poses are usually held for five to 10 breaths. Yet, in movement-based styles, it can be appropriate to flow between them quite quickly, and also in more static styles, a person may find that they are held for up to a couple of minutes each. Each approach has indeed its own unique benefits.

Urdhva Hastasana, Upward Salute Pose :
The upward salute happens to be a pose that is often integrated into the “Sun Salutation,” a common sequence of movements indeed found in Vinyasa Yoga. It is a very powerful pose to focus on in its own right.
The upward salute stretches the entire front of the body, from the fronts of one’s legs, via the abdomen, the chest, and all the way up into the person’s armpits as well as shoulders. It also helps to strengthen the individual’s muscles of the back, which in fact helps to make back-bending postures accessible later on.
This is indeed a classic “heart-opening” posture, which is considered to be of help in order to develop a sense of openness and compassion towards others and also a more energetic, attractive posture.
Padangusthasana, Big Toe Pose :
Padangusthasana is considered to be a powerful forward bend that is rather well worth spending a bit of extra time refining in one’s yoga practice. Most modern people do tend to have tight hamstrings, either from long periods of sitting in chairs or even from long periods of walking. This is the classic pose to release hamstring tightness.
In this yoga pose, as the head is below the heart, and the lungs below the hips, it is thought of as being a gentle inversion. Inversions do help to deliver blood to the lungs, helping efficient respiration and healthy tissues, particularly so in the upper sections of the lungs. It is also felt to be beneficial for anxiety and depression.
