What is a yoga bind?

Do you know what takes a normal yoga pose and makes it a bind?
Well, yogic binds involve rotating the torso and shoulders and clasping the hands together.
They require both focus and flexibility.
Benefits include:
- Takes your yoga practise to the next level
- Engages muscles
- Aids digestion
- Builds strength, flexibility, focus and mental balance
Great yoga poses to try a bind:
- Sage Marichi I
- Side Angle
- Half Lord of The Fishes
- Noose Pose
Tip for beginners:
If you find it challenging to clasp your hands, try using a strap, belt or tie to extend the arms, until you get more used to the practise.
