#6 Boat Pose - Navasana
Instructions:
Step 1: Lie on the floor in a supine position with feet placed close to each other. Position your arms on the side and parallel to the body. Ensure that the arms and legs are extended throughout the duration of the exercise.
Step 2: Gradually raise your legs such that they make an acute angle with the floor. Simultaneously raise your torso off the floor while bringing your arms over the knees.
Step 3: Hold the contraction for 30 seconds and return to the starting position. While holding the contraction, ensure that the body forms a 'V' with the floor.
Perform the boat pose for the recommended number of times.
Important tip: People with a history of lower back problems must exercise caution while performing the boat pose.
