ARM BALANCE: PENDANT POSE, Lolasana

Lolasana

/

Lolasana (Pendant Pose) is an intermediate-to-advanced yoga arm balance that strengthens the core, arms, shoulders, and wrists. In this posture, the body is lifted off the ground using arm support while the legs are tightly tucked into the chest, requiring strong abdominal compression and controlled breath. It is commonly practiced in Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga systems as a foundational strength-building pose and a preparation for advanced arm balances like Crow Pose (Bakasana). Regular practice improves balance, coordination, focus, and functional upper-body strength.
