How to do Dandasana (Staff Pose)
Dandasana, also known as Staff Pose, is a foundational seated yoga posture that helps improve posture, strengthen the spine, and prepare the body for advanced asanas. Practicing Dandasana regularly increases body awareness, enhances concentration, and supports relaxation, making it ideal for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
Step-by-Step Practice Guide to Perform Dandasana
- Begin by sitting in Sukhasana (easy cross-legged pose).
- Take a slow inhalation and gently stretch your legs forward, forming a 90-degree angle with the upper body.
- In the final position, keep the spine, neck, and head aligned and straight. Focus your gaze softly on a point ahead. Rest your hands beside your waist with the palms on the floor.
- Exhale slowly and return to Sukhasana.
- This is a calming and grounding pose, commonly used for relaxation and meditation.
- Repeat posture 3 to 4 times, gradually increasing the duration of the final pose.
