Yoga postures associated with Taurus:
Taurus epitomizes stamina and endurance, and this series builds both
qualities. The downward-facing dog, at the heart of the series,
enhances upper body strength while bringing more blood to the brain.
The posture strengthens the abdominals and legs and energizes the body.
The palms and the soles of the feet are grounded and connected with the
earth. The counter posture, the cobra or upward-facing dog, tones the
entire spine, corrects poor posture, and stretches the muscles from the
lower back to the neck and shoulders. The posture also increases
circulation to the spine and aids digestion.
