Although a relatively simple pose, dandasana or staff pose helps to strengthen the muscles deep within the lower back, abdomen and inside the pelvis. When we strengthen these muscle groups we help to improve our overall posture and also build a solid foundation for the rest of the spine. In addition to improving spinal awareness, staff pose also stretches the hamstrings and calves.
