Do a Yoga Turtle Pose
The turtle pose is also known as the kurmasana. It is a yoga pose where the human body imitates the form of a turtle sticking its head and four limbs out, and then pulling its head and limbs back into its shell. It involves gradual execution and takes careful positioning of certain body parts to achieve its benefits. This position opens up the hip, which then provides good circulation around the area. The back will have a good stretch as well as the groin, lower extremities, upper extremities and shoulders. It also serves as a good position for your spine and abdomen. Here are some steps on how to do a yoga turtle pose.
