How to Do Airplane Pose

Learn how to take flight in this balancing yoga posture.

Airplane pose, or Dekasana, is a variation of Warrior 3 pose. It requires focus, a mastery of basic skills and an attitude of fun. As with any pose, approach Airplane slowly and deliberately. Once you’ve earned your wings, you can start to cultivate a feeling of lightness, lifting your wings and enjoying the full stretch this posture offers. Beginners can practice balancing for five to 10 breaths at a time.

Airplane pose can help teach balance. It also helps stretch the upper body and aides in strengthening the lower body. Watch the video and visit Pro Tips to learn how to set up this foundational yoga pose, how to modify Airplane Pose and some common mistakes to avoid: http://d.sg/SF2
