Camel Pose is also referred to as Ustrasana as it helps stretch all the muscles of your body in just one simple step. Experts and many research suggest that camel pose helps in treating and preventing problems that are associated with our respiratory, digestive and circulatory system. Many people who have a severe problem of constipation can get relief by practicing the camel pose on a daily basis.
In order to carry out the camel pose, one needs to kneel down on the floor and stretch your arms backwards with your hands placed firmly on your heels. Now stretch as much as possible but make sure that your arms are kept straight throughout the procedure.
