AYUSH ministry highlights health benefits of Ardha Halasana

Ardha Halasana, a beginner-friendly variation of Plow Pose, involves raising the legs to 30, 60 or 90 degrees while lying on the back. The AYUSH Ministry says it may strengthen abdominal, back and leg muscles and aid digestion. It may improve flexibility and concentration. People with hernias or abdominal injuries or surgery should avoid it.
