Common questions about Boat Pose
What does Navasana mean?
Navasana comes from nava (boat) and asana (pose) — the body forms a V like a boat balanced on the sit bones.
What muscles does Boat Pose work?
Mainly the deep core and hip flexors, with the spinal muscles and quads helping to hold the V. It's one of the most direct core builders in yoga.
How do I make Boat Pose easier?
Keep the knees bent with shins parallel to the floor, or hold behind the thighs. Lifting the chest and keeping a long spine matters more than straight legs.

Three sizes: 8×12" (£19.99), 16×24" (£25.99) and 24×36" (£39.99). Every print ships unframed. Free UK shipping over £60.
