How Padahastasana Eases Back Pain and Stress for Desk Workers

Modern work habits keep us hunched over screens, leading to chronic back stiffness and heightened anxiety. The Ministry of AYUSH recommends Padahastasana as a low‑impact method to combat these issues. By reaching for the feet, the pose stretches the lumbar vertebrae, encourages blood flow toward the brain and eyes, and soothes the nervous system. Regular practice strengthens the digestive tract, enhances mental clarity, and reduces the buildup of physical stress from sedentary work.
