How to Perform
Starting Position: Lie on your back with your legs extended and arms resting by your sides.
Lift Chest and Arch Back: Place your hands under your hips, palms down, and press your forearms and elbows into the floor to lift your chest. Arch your back, keeping your head tilted back so that the top or crown of your head touches the floor.
Hold and Breathe: Hold this position for a few breaths, feeling a stretch across your chest and throat, then gently release by lowering your chest and head back to the floor.
Note: Perform this pose gently, particularly if you have neck or back concerns. If you experience discomfort, reduce the intensity of the back arch or stop the pose.
Benefits of Fish Pose
Chest and Throat Opener: Stretches the chest, throat, and abdomen, which helps improve breathing capacity and relieves tension.
Promotes Spine Flexibility: The gentle arch strengthens and improves mobility in the upper back.
Improves Posture: By expanding the chest and stretching the front of the body, Fish Pose helps counteract slouching and improves overall posture.
