Boost Core Strength This Winter: 4 Yoga Asanas to Increase Stamina and Fight Sluggishness

• Dr. Gagan Tiwari of Kailash Health Village emphasizes that a strong core is vital for posture, balance, digestion, circulation, and endurance, especially during winter.
• Winter often leads to reduced core movement, causing stiffness, sluggishness, and low energy, which can be counteracted by specific yoga asanas.
• Plank Pose (Phalakasana) builds internal heat and stamina by engaging abs, shoulders, and legs, challenging inner core muscles.
• Boat Pose (Navasana) intensely targets abdominal muscles, improving strength, endurance, and aiding digestion, which can be sluggish in colder months.
• Chair Pose (Utkatasana) and Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana) also contribute to core strength, generate warmth, improve circulation, and restore mobility, combating winter lethargy.
