Goddess Pose

Goddess Pose (Rudrasana), also referred to as the Fierce Angle Pose, is an empowering, intermediate standing level pose. The Goddess Pose (Rudrasana) can also be part of yoga sequences intended for hips, the chest as well as groin. The practice of Goddess Pose, when part of a prenatal yoga sequence, helps to widen the uterus and prepare for delivery during pregnancy. Goddess Pose is considered a base pose as goddess pose variations can be derived from this pose. Goddess Pose helps boost energy in the body and hence can be included in flow yoga sequences.
