TULADANDASANA

Balancing stick gets your heart pumping - like running 10 miles in 10 seconds. This posture increases blood flow all over the body at once.

A natural human tug of war - stretching and reaching simultaneously. Both knees are locked and the elbows are with the ears. The focus is four feet in front.

Balancing Stick lengthens the latissimus and strengthens the deltoid, rhomboid and trapezius muscles.
