Vyaghrasana which is also known in the tradition of Tiger Pose in yoga, evokes the stretching routine seen in tigers when they wake up of deep slumber. The posture involves a sequence of coordinated movements with the aim of improving both physical endurance and flexibility as well as enhancing the person’s focus and attention.

This yoga posture provides the whole-body approach to health that combines physical strength with spiritual clarity and mental clarity.
