Sharing a super cool picture of striking a 'wheel pose' aka Chakrasana, actress Kareena Kapoor Khan recently wrote on her page, 'As I fly for the summer, my favourite yoga asana is a must - the Chakrasana to go. #Summer2024 here we come.' Even before, Kareena has posted photos of her performing the pose several times, with her trainer Anshuka Parwani, who also works with those like Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone and Rakul Preet Singh.
If you are wondering what's the reason for the actor's love for the pose, you should know that Chakrasana has many benefits that will help you with your overall fitness. If done right, it can stretch your spine and chest, strengthen your arms, shoulders and wrist, boost your mood and energy, improve digestion and even increase your lung capacity. Here are a few other benefits of Chakrasana: 1) Its deep backbend improves your blood flow, which will ensure better cardiovascular health 2) It can also promote a better sense of relaxation and calm, as it can reduce stress levels by activating your nervous system.
3) Those looking for some better core strength, come this way! The pose engages your abdominals and obliques, toning the midsection. 4) Some practitioners believe that it can also improve your skin as it improves your blood circulation and helps in detoxification. 5) It is also known to alleviate menstrual discomfort in some women, as it releases tension from the lower back.
