The Yoga Temple pose is a sequence of moves that help to give comprehensive exercise, especially to your upper body. The temple pose also helps in burning away your extra calories and reducing your midriff to develop a sculpted frame.
Start by standing erect on a mat as in the Mountain pose. Bend down slightly from your hips and knees to come into the Chair pose. Place your hands on your waist and move your legs away from each other to keep a shoulder’s length of distance between them. Turn your feet away from each other to have your right foot point to the right and left foot to the left. Raise your arms to the level of your shoulders and stretch them away from each other.
Place your hands on your thighs and slowly bend down and try to make your thighs horizontal to the floor. Press your hands against your thighs and gently rock yourself from side to side.
Now take your hands behind your back and clasp your right palm with your left palm. Turn your feet to face forward. Inhale, and as you exhale bend down from your hips and bring your head as close as you can to the floor, while holding your hands behind your back. Pause at this stage before proceeding further.
Bring your arms in front of you and interlace your arms into each other. Fold your arms form the elbows and wrap your hands into each other. Inhale, and as you exhale, lower your hips to make your thighs horizontal to the mat. Repeat this movement for between four to five times and then exit this pose.
