Benefits
Upavistha Konasana is a great hip opening exercise. It is ideal to increase hip mobility and hamstring flexibility. It is also good for strengthening the back and improving posture as the starting point of this pose should be a perfect upright upper body position. I have chosen to perform this asana using the BeamBlock because the elevation element adds an additional flexibility challenge in the groin area. The process of bending forward beautifully demonstrates the importance of keeping the body and mind connected during your practice, to develop greater body awareness and maintain good technique. A powerful, soothing and therapeutic experience and a lovely pose to include in your daily practice.
