It also increases the range of motion in the leg and hip areas. It aids to reduce stiffness in the back and shoulders and opens up the chest muscles which in turn improves breathing.” Anshuka further shared a pro tip that people suffering from injury in spine, leg, hips or shoulders should avoid practising this asana.
