Ustrasana (Camel Pose) is a powerful deep backbend that stretches the chest, abdomen, and thighs while improving spinal flexibility and posture. It opens the heart area, enhances breathing capacity, strengthens back muscles, and boosts energy levels. Regular practice also reduces fatigue and increases overall body awareness and emotional balance.

When performing Ustrasana (Camel Pose), avoid these common mistakes:

• Collapsing the lower back instead of evenly distributing the bend through the entire spine.
• Overstraining the neck by dropping the head too far back too quickly.
• Knees spreading apart instead of keeping them hip-width for stability.
• Not engaging the core, which can lead to unnecessary pressure on the lower back.
• Forcing the hands to reach the heels, causing imbalance or strain.
• Holding the breath, instead of maintaining slow and deep breathing.
• Skipping warm-up stretches, which increases the risk of muscle strain or injury.
