Challenging balance pose to explore both physical and mental integration

Yoga Firefly pose; Tittibhasana

Tittibhasana, also called Firefly Pose, this asana requires you to balance oppositional forces: It invites you to support yourself on your hands while you lift your legs like wings, and to soften into the quietness of a forward bend while hovering above the earth and holding on tight.

Benefits

• Stretches the inner groins and back torso

• Strengthens the arms and wrists

• Tones the belly

• Improves sense of balance

Don't get discouraged. Very few people can do firefly pose the first time they try. Just have fun with it.

Determination, confidence, and the ability to let go can help lift you into tittibhasana, the challenging firefly pose.
