Maksikanagasana 1

Maksikanagasana I (Dragonfly Pose I) is an advanced yoga arm balance that combines strength, flexibility, and balance control. This posture requires the practitioner to lift the body using the arms while one leg is hooked onto the upper arm and the other extends outward, creating a wing-like shape. It develops deep core strength, shoulder stability, wrist endurance, and hip flexibility while also improving focus and body awareness. Often practiced in advanced yoga sequences, Maksikanagasana I is both a physical and mental challenge that emphasizes controlled breathing, precise alignment, and gradual progression for safe execution.
