Half Bow Pose is an intermediate backbend that builds core strength, stretches the shoulders, and opens the chest. Half Bow Pose is known to help give the body energy and is a great way to work up to the full version of Bow Pose. Some preparatory postures to Half Bow include Cobra and Locust Pose.
To do Half Bow Pose, lie on the stomach with the arms out front. Lift the right leg and reach back with the left hand to grab the inside ankle. The left-arm should be on the mat with the elbow bent at a 90-degree angle.
