Half Locust Pose

The Half Locust pose, also known as Ardha Shalabhasana, has various benefits. It strengthens the lower back muscles, tones the buttocks, and can help improve posture. This pose also engages the core muscles and can aid in relieving mild back pain. This also massages the abdominal organs. Regular practice of the Half Locust pose can contribute to increased strength and flexibility in the back and lower body. What I find hinders most people from performing this pose is restriction in the forearm and wrists! As I chiropractor, this is a great stretch at the end of the day.

seat = face

Hi Dr. B! Love the pose. Crazy how a seemingly simple pose (unlike the high-five your spine haha) can affect so much and how everything is so connected! Iโ€™ll promise this is my last time asking for the opportunity to schedule an appt. with you - at any time - as a wedding present! It would be the best-ever gift I could ever receive (shh donโ€™t tell my wife) and I promise lots of crunchy content! This will be my final plea, I promise โ˜บ๏ธ

You have to be able to have a very good balance when you bring your legs up, otherwise you risk arching your back too much
