Postures

The Standing Separate Leg Stretching Pose strengthens and stretches the sciatic nerve, and thereby eliminates associated problems (such as inflammation). It also assists the proper functioning of the intestines (large and small), stomach (by increasing the production of gastric juices), kidney and spleen, and helps constipation and obesity. The Pose strengthens and stretches the muscles of the thighs and calves and increases the flexibility of the ankles, hips, and shoulders. With the chin forward, this posture increases blood circulation to the adrenal glands and leads to improved blood circulation to the brain.
