| Upward Salute Pose |
Upward Salute Pose is a standing yoga posture that energizes the body and awakens the mind.
Upward salute provides an energizing and awakening stretch for the whole body.
It creates space in the spine, aligning the vertebrae and helping to protect the muscles and nerves around the spine. As such, it is a good preparatory pose for deep twists, stretches and back bends such as wheel pose.
In this pose, the body is upright with the spine long. The arms extend overhead with the palms facing each other or touching. The feet can be together or held at shoulder-width.
