This relaxing seated pose gently stretches your muscles and relieves pain, stress and fatigue simultaneously.

While stretching the entire body, this asana also works as a great stress-buster. You will definitely feel more energized after doing this one.

This asana gently stimulates all the abdominal organs while continuing with the relaxing stretch you did with the downward dog pose.
