Salabhasana has benefits for a wide range of problems, including lower back pain, postural problems, and weakness anywhere along your back body, including your hips and hamstrings. And because the backbend is shallow and doesn\u2019t put pressure on your wrists, it is accessible to almost everyone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Locust_Pose_is_Great_for\"><\/span>Locust Pose is Great for:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>lower back pain (it strengthens the muscles along the sides of your lower back)<\/li>\n<li>hamstring injuries<\/li>\n<li>arthritis of the knees (it strengthens the leg muscles)<\/li>\n<li>postural problems (such as excessive rounding and head-forward syndrome)<\/li>\n<li>arm strength (in the versions where you lift your arms)<\/li>\n<li>depression (for mild energizing when your energy is low)<\/li>\n<li>general weakness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Timing:<\/strong>\u00a0For all versions,<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>stay in the pose for 4-6 breaths, breathing comfortably. Then release and rest for a few breaths before repeating a second time. Gradually over time, work your way up to 12-16 breaths in the pose. You can also practice this pose dynamically, coming up into the backbend on your inhalation and releasing on your exhalation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Cautions:<\/strong> Lifting too high or too quickly as you come into Salabhasana can trigger a cramp in the soles of your feet, hamstrings, or lower back. If this happens, try reducing the height and\/or coming up more slowly. People with back pain should start with version 3 (one leg), and as you get stronger, gradually progress to the classic version. If you experience back pain in the pose, consult your teacher about your alignment before trying it again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Variations_of_Locust_Pose\"><\/span>4 Variations of Locust Pose<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Classic_Locust_Pose\"><\/span>1.
