Working out with a partner is great and has its benefits. In the pictures, Taapsee and her sister were seen doing shoulder stands or Salamba Sarvangasana, holding the position with their legs raised and their feet touching each others’. Earlier, Shobhita Dhulipala was also seen doing the yoga pose.
Salamba Sarvangasana:
It is an inverted yoga pose that stretches the shoulders, neck, and tones the legs and buttocks. It is also claimed to calm the mind, stimulate the thyroid, and improve digestion. Besides this it is also known to reduce fatigue and improve sleep.
How to do it:
- Pile a stack of folded blankets. Lie down with your upper back on the stack of blankets. The legs are not stretched nor are the knees bent. Keep your arms next to your body with palms down.
- Inhale and lift your legs as you press your arms into the floor
- Raise your legs over your head and curl the hips up and off the floor. Bring your weight towards your upper back and shoulders.
- Now, bend your elbows and place your palms on your back for support.
- Then stretch your legs towards the ceiling. Place your hands on your back, towards the upper back to help lift your spine off the floor.
- Draw your shoulder blades and thighs in and hold the position for a few seconds.
- To return to the start position, lower your legs towards the floor. Roll your spine slowly back on the floor.
Benefits of Salamba Sarvangasana:
- Relieves stress and calms the mind
- Tones the legs and buttocks
- Stretches the shoulders and neck.
- Improves digestion
- Reduces fatigue and alleviates insomnia
