Boat Pose, or Paripurna Navasana, requires you to balance on the tripod of your sitting bones and tailbone to build mental and physical focus, inspiring a full-body awareness. Boat Pose also strengthens your hip flexors, adductors (groin), and the lower back muscles that support your spine. It offers a mental test, as well. You need to dig deep in Navasana to extend, expand, and open your body while pushing through heat and discomfort. Boat Pose builds focus and body awareness. It can boost energy and fight fatigue, and help build confidence and empowerment. Boat Pose also improves posture and counteracts the effects of prolonged sitting and doing computer work by strengthening your core and thighs.
