Halasana — also known as Plow pose — "takes the weight off your feet and provides a deep stretch for your hamstrings, calves, and Achilles," notes Cohen.
- Begin on back, take knees into the chest and then extend both feet straight toward ceiling.
- Using core engagement, lift hips away from the ground and bring hands to lower back for support.
- Lower legs and reach feet behind head towards the ground.
- Once feet find the ground readjust hands closer to shoulders or all the way to the ground for more support.
- If feet never touch the ground, keep hands at low back for support.
