( plow )
A generally overlooked asan, this gentle + sweet surrendering pose holds such deep value and beauty full regulation qualities.
In plow, you may experience vagal nerve stimulation just from the gorgeous architecture of this shape. And this produces blood pressure drop + baroreceptor activation.
From the bhanda, namely jalandhara, there is supportive compression of the thyroid and parathyroids. Stimulation of this increases immunity + metabolism.
The pose also, just by its shape, supports the elongation of the posterior chain, a biomechanics fascial flossing + floating; literally from toes to head. A delightful decompression, counter-posing commute and daily sitting performance.
Via inversion, this gentle shoulder stand supports a paradoxical clarity and a neuro calm of which the brain benefits deeply in this succinct meditation.
Your core will awaken.
The approach is gentle.
The hold is sweet.
Halasana.
The plow proves purposeful + peaceful with a mindful, caring approach.
💛
