Strength In Your Core
Chaturanga dandasana is all
about balancing the body taking
the help of your arms, legs, and
core. That being said, when you
stay in this posture for about
30 seconds it invigorates the
abdominal muscles and this, in
turn, is good for strengthening
your core.
Benefit No 2 - Improves
Muscle Strength
It is vital to have strong muscles
so that you can go about your
basic activities without any
disturbance.
