Intense standing side balance: To begin with, stand with your feet and shoulders wide apart. Slowly bend your right leg towards the front and hold your big toe with three fingers. Stand straight and place your left hand on your hip. Now slowly stretch your right leg. Once you stretch your leg and maintain balance, slowly turn your head
towards the opposite direction. Push your pelvis forward and at the same time move your right leg as far as possible to the side. Hold this pose for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat the same on the left side.
Easy option: The same exercise can be performed with the help of a chair or a handrail.
Benefits: This is an excellent pose to help strengthen your pelvis and keep your hip joints healthy. This pose also improves alignment of the spine. All the internal organs are energised through this. Problems like frequent urination, menstrual pains, and cramps can be avoided if this pose is practiced frequently.
