Destroyer of all diseases is called the Fish Pose

Dive into Fish Pose to find endless healing properties inspired by the vast ocean. Fish Pose or Matsyasana is traditionally known as the “destroyer of all diseases” because of its many benefits. The stress of the day and slumping over in a chair or in a car, can take a toll on the back, neck, and shoulders. Create physical opening in the back, neck, and shoulder area in Fish Pose, and reinstate a feeling of balance, feeling more grounded, and allowing us to feel confident and open to new experiences and people that pass in and out of our lives.

The benefits of Fish Pose include: expanding and opening in the chest and the ribcage, expanding the lung capacity, stretching the hip flexors, strengthening the muscles in the neck and back, relieving pressure on the nerves, stretching the throat and the belly, promoting good posture and stimulating the thyroid and parathyroid glands (endocrine glands helping to regulate metabolism, growth, and sleep patterns).
