Elaborating on the benefits of the Yoga asana, Malaika revealed, “This pose stretches and opens the chest, shoulders and hips, strengthens the arms as you put your weight on one arm. It is great for energizing the body and the mind, and also improves self-confidence (sic).”

Method:

Start in Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog pose). Lift your left leg and start opening your hip towards the ceiling and bend the left knee.

Continue opening the hip and begin pivoting on the ball of the right foot, move your toes to face the back of the room. Come into position for a backbend.

Bring the left foot to the floor on the outside of your right foot. Raise your right arm and point it towards the front of the room.

Stay in this position for a few seconds. Repeat on the other side.

Precautions:

To perform Camatkarasana, one requires strength and suppleness not only the shoulder and the hip joints but also in the core at the front, back and side core muscles of the spine. Hence, consult a doctor before beginning with this exercise regime.
