Welcome to Swami Vivekananda Yoga Kendra, where every pose is more than just movement — it’s a journey toward balance, peace, and inner strength.
Today, we’re diving into one of yoga’s cool-looking (and kind of challenging) arm balances — Bhujapidasana, also called Shoulder Pressing Pose. Don’t worry if it looks a bit intimidating — we’ll break it down step by step, explain its benefits, and answer common questions you might have.
Let’s get into it!
There are yoga poses that energize you, and then there are poses that take you inward—like Uttana Kurmasana, or the Stretching Tortoise Pose. This pose feels like a full-body sigh of relief. It challenges your body while calming your mind, inviting you to slow down and truly connect with yourself.
If you’ve already tried Kurmasana (Tortoise Pose), Uttana Kurmasana takes that same inner stillness a step deeper—with a stretch that’s both physical and emotional.
Sometimes, the best way to find peace is to simply go inward—just like a tortoise pulling into its shell. That’s the whole essence of Kurmasana, also known as the Tortoise Pose. It’s a calming, forward-folding yoga posture that helps you turn down the noise of the outside world and reconnect with yourself.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to do it, why it’s good for your body and mind, and how it can fit beautifully into your yoga journey.
