Natarajasana, otherwise known as the Dancer Pose, is a physically and mentally challenging backbend that requires patience and focus. The dancer's yoga pose is named after the Hindu god Shiva Nataraja, King of the Dance, and symbolizes finding inner calm. Stretching your shoulders, chest, hips, and inner thighs to prepare for this pose is recommended. Practicing balancing poses such as Tree Pose and stretches like Cow Face Pose can also help. Using a strap to achieve greater access to the pose and ensure that your hips are squared towards the front is advisable. Benefits Of Dancer Pose The Dancer's Pose provides a wide range of benefits that can greatly enrich your yoga practice: Strengthens Multiple Muscle Groups: It enhances the strength of various muscle groups, including the feet, ankles, legs, core, back, and arms. This comprehensive strengthening can improve your overall physical resilience. Promotes Flexibility: The pose opens up the front of your body, stretching and increasing flexibility in the chest, abdomen, hip flexors, and shoulders. This improved flexibility can enhance your range of motion. Balance and Concentration: Practicing the Dancer's Pose challenges balance and concentration. By doing so, it fosters mindfulness and stability during your yoga sessions. This heightened focus can be beneficial for both your practice and daily life. Step-By-Step Guide to Perform Dancer Pose Start by standing tall in Mountain Pose with both feet together and arms at your sides. Shift your weight onto your right foot, grounding it firmly into the yoga mat. This will be your supporting leg. Bend your left knee and bring your left heel toward your left buttock. Reach back with your left hand and grasp your left ankle or foot from the inside, with your fingers pointing down. Begin to hinge forward slightly at your hips while keeping your right leg straight. Your left knee should point downward as you lift your left foot away from your buttock. As you balance on your right leg, extend your left leg back and up behind you. At the same time, start to lift your torso forward and up. Your left leg should rise higher as your body leans forward. Simultaneously, reach your right arm forward and up toward the ceiling, keeping it parallel to the yoga mat. This helps with balance and adds to the elegant look of the pose. Focus on a point in front of you to help maintain your balance. Hold the pose for several breaths, finding your balance and extension. Feel a gentle stretch in your quadriceps, hip flexors, and chest. To release the Dancer pose, slowly lower your left leg and return to an upright position in Tadasana. Repeat the Dancer's Pose on the other side by shifting your weight to your left foot and grasping your right ankle with your right hand. Enhance Your Yoga Practice With Yoga Mat Variations of the Dancer Pose If you are new to Dancer Pose, these three variations will help you find one that will work for you. Dancer Pose with Chair Support To enhance your balance and stability, utilize the back of a chair for support during the Dancer Pose. Dancer Pose at the Wall Stand facing a wall and place one hand on it while reaching for the opposite foot with your free hand. Ensure your knee faces downward to stretch the front of your thigh (quadriceps). Employ a strap to extend your reach if reaching your foot is challenging. Dancer Pose with the Assistance of a Strap If reaching your foot is challenging, place a yoga strap around the top of your right foot. Extend the strap over your right shoulder, holding it with your right hand. Place your left hand on your hip or extend it forward, and then gently lean toward the wall in front of you while softly pressing your foot toward the wall behind you. Wrapping Up The Dancer's Pose, or Natarajasana, is a yoga type that offers many physical and mental benefits. It strengthens essential muscle groups, promotes flexibility by opening up the front of the body, and enhances balance and concentration, fostering mindfulness and stability. As you incorporate the Dancer's Pose into your yoga practice, you'll experience physical growth and develop a deeper connection between your body and mind, ultimately enriching your overall well-being. This elegant and challenging pose is valuable to any yogi's journey toward improved strength, flexibility, and inner balance.

This is a super cute picture from overstuffedlife.com. I love her design and the message is inspiring! I made this graphic into a print 4-to-a-page pdf. You can find it here .We did an activity last spring ( I know, I am really behind-more on that later) that incorporated this theme. We talked about how important it is to take care of our bodies and what Heavenly Father expect us to do with them. You could take this lesson in several different directions. We chose to do fitness. So we went outside and played some games. We did relays involving jumping rope, running, skipping, jumping jacks, etc. When the girls were nice and worn out, we had some of this: Yummy fruit salsa! And.... cinnamon tortilla chips! Yummm!!! This was a delicious healthy snack, easy to prep beforehand, and we make it all the time at my house now. Here is the recipe (from allrecipes.com): Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Chips 2 kiwis, peeled and diced 2 Golden Delicious apples - peeled, cored and diced 8 ounces raspberries 1 pound strawberries 2 tablespoons white sugar 1 tablespoon brown sugar 3 tablespoons fruit preserves, any flavor 10 (10 inch) flour tortillas butter flavored cooking spray 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar DIRECTIONS: 1. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix kiwis, Golden Delicious apples, raspberries, strawberries, white sugar, brown sugar and fruit preserves. Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 15 minutes. 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 3. Coat one side of each flour tortilla with butter flavored cooking spray. Cut into wedges and arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle wedges with desired amount of cinnamon sugar. Spray again with cooking spray. 4. Bake in the preheated oven 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with any remaining tortilla wedges.
