Known as Kapotasana, this kneeling backbend exercise in modern yoga is also called Pigeon Pose. This pose stretches the entire body, including the ankles, thighs, groins, abdomen, chest and throat. It strengthens the deep hip flexors and back muscles. It also improves posture, according to yogajournal.com.
Beginners can practice this asana under supervision against a wall or with support as shown by the actors above.
However, it is recommended to avoid the asana in case of a back injury, high or low blood pressure, migraine, and insomnia.
In Rakul Preet’s post, the third photo shows her doing a full leg and arm split with her head placed on the ground. Both her arms and legs are also placed on the ground.
