This strength posture will build your arms & core. Engaging your Bandhas is essential in lifting off into this powerful pose. Blocks help to build you up to the full expression and adding lotus can double the fun...and challenge.
Lolasana is a challenging arm-balancing and core-strengthening asana that requires strong arms and shoulders. The name comes from the Sanskrit lol, meaning “fickle,” “trembling” or “dangling,” and asana, meaning “posture” or “pose.”
With the ankles crossed, the practitioner sits back on the heels in a variation of vajrasana (thunderbolt pose), then places the hands alongside the legs. From there, the torso and shoulders curl forward until the body forms a ball, and the arms extend to raise the legs off the ground. With the body tucked into a ball, it rocks between the arms like a swing.
Listen & enjoy!
