Shilpa Shetty Shares Benefits of Doing Skandasana

Side Lunge Pose, or Half Squat Pose (as well as Kandasana), is a deep stretch yoga animal pose that works many of the muscle groups simultaneously. The asana requires balancing the body on one leg, being in a squat with the other leg extended towards the side of the body. It is a dynamic pose which involves strength, flexibility and balance.

Benefits of Skandasana

1. Increased Flexibility: Skandasana stretches the hamstrings, adductors (inner thighs), and groin, and creates a general increase in flexibility in the hips and legs.
2. Hip Opening: The pose has the power to open your hips, making your hip flexible and less stiff.
3. Strengths Legs and Core: The deep side lunge targets the quadriceps and glutes working them out strengthening them. It also works on the core and enhances stability.
4. Improves Balance: The lateral movement of the weight of the body in the pose is both difficulty, and thrives on balance and coordination.
5. Prepares for Advanced Poses: The added flexion in the hips that is achieved in Skandasana will position the body to advance to more complicated poses such as deepest squats and splits.
