Boat Pose - Navasana

This is a seated balance as well as an abdominal, hip flexor and back strengthener. Don't attempt this if you are pregnant or have had a recent stomach op or have any back issues.

This posture feels easier if you have already stretched the hip flexors, glutes and lower back areas first.  Make sure you sit on your sitting bones and tailbone rather than the sacrum.

Keep the back long, chest lifting up and the shoulders back and down throughout.

Try any of the variations shown.

Try different arm and leg positions as long as you can maintain the same long upper body posture.

Counterpose - roll down to the floor and hug knees in to the chest.
