Ardha Chakrasana, or the Standing Backward Bend Pose involves balancing on one hand while extending the other arm and leg, creating an arc shape with the body.
Benefits: It stretches the front upper torso and tones the arms and shoulder muscles.
Who should avoid: Individuals with recent or chronic injury to the arms, wrists, shoulder, neck, back, or hips or any medical conditions that make inversion or balancing poses challenging.
