🌾 Plough Pose – Fold, Lengthen, and Settle 🌾
Halasana, or Plough Pose, is a calming inversion offers a deep stretch for the spine, shoulders, and back body while encouraging stillness and control. Halasana is often practiced as a transition or counterpose, helping the body slow down while maintaining strength and awareness. 🌿
✨ Why Do We Do It? ✨
Halasana lengthens the spine, stretches the shoulders and upper back, and improves flexibility through the posterior chain. The inverted position encourages controlled movement, spinal awareness, and steady breathing, making it a useful pose for both mobility and regulation within a practice. 🌬️
✨ Benefits ✨
1️⃣ Stretches the spine, shoulders, and upper back
2️⃣ Improves hamstring and calf flexibility
3️⃣ Strengthens the abdominal muscles through control
4️⃣ Encourages spinal mobility and healthy movement patterns
5️⃣ Promotes relaxation through slow, steady breathing
✨ A Pose of Stillness & Control ✨
In Halasana, allow the spine to lengthen as the body folds inward. 🌸 Support the neck, soften unnecessary effort, and focus on breath and alignment. This pose invites quiet strength and mindful release without forcing depth.
Next time you practice Plough Pose, prioritise comfort in the neck and shoulders, move slowly, and let the breath guide the shape. 💫
