The locust yoga position is a powerful back-strengthening posture in Hatha yoga, traditionally known as Shalabhasana. This pose involves lying flat on the abdomen and lifting the legs, chest, or arms off the floor using core and back muscle strength. Practicing the locust yoga position regularly helps activate the spinal muscles, glutes, and hamstrings, making it especially beneficial for people who experience stiffness due to prolonged sitting or poor posture. By encouraging spinal extension and muscular engagement, the pose improves alignment and builds resilience in the lower back while also stimulating the abdominal organs and enhancing overall body awareness.
