tiger

Description

Tiger Pose kneeling variation is a balance and backbend posture that strengthens the core, shoulders, and legs while improving flexibility in the hips and spine. Table top bound hand to foot. Start kneeling on your right leg. Lift your left leg behind you, bending the knee. Reach your left arm back to grab your left foot, creating a gentle backbend and opening the chest. Keep your spine long and hips square or slightly rotated for stability. Your right arm stays down, pressing into the floor to support your balance. Hold your chest open and gaze forward. This pose builds strength in the arms and core, increases hip mobility, improves spinal flexibility, and enhances overall balance and coordination. A quadruped position with one arm and the opposite leg extended, creating a balancing and strengthening shape. Used primarily in warm-up sequences to engage the core and improve coordination before standing or seated work. It belongs to the balancing and core activation group, often practiced bilaterally with left and right side variations. Known as vyaghrasana in Sanskrit, it is named after the tiger, reflecting the pose’s dynamic extension.
