Kundalini Yoga: Archer Pose

Excerpt about Archer Pose
from Kundalini Postures and
Poetry, by Shakti Parwha
Kaur Khalsa

On the physical plane, we

have lots of reasons for
doing Archer Pose. It helps
develop strength in the
quadriceps and the
intestines. The legs and
knees are being
strengthened. Outstanding
physical stamina and
strength are gained, while,
remarkably, at the same
time, there is an inner
posture of feelings taking
place that is equal in power
to the pure physical
connection of feet to the
ground.

Sometimes called the Hero Posture, Archer Pose develops the 3rd Chakra, strength of
will, and courage. Plus, it is said that the need for excessive sleep disappears!

Archer Pose can be challenging, but 11 minutes of archer pose on each side is a simple way to
build up the Radiant Body and develop the Navel Center.

Chivalry and fearlessness, inherent in this noble warrior stance,

Physical stamina and strength in feet, thighs, and arms enhanced.

Archer also puts pressure on the thigh bone,

Balancing calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium.

Instructions for Archer Pose

Posture: Bring the right foot forward so that the feet are 2-3 feet apart. The right toes face
forward while the left foot comes to a 45 degree angle, with the heel back and the toes
forward. The left leg stays straight and strong as the right knee bends until the thigh is almost
parallel to the ground (do not let the knee go beyond the toes); tuck the tailbone.

Curl the ngers of both hands onto the palms, thumbs pulled back. As if pulling back a bow
and arrow, lift the right arm up, extended forward parallel to the ground, over the right knee.
The left arm, bent at the elbow, pulls back until the st is at the left shoulder.

Pull Neck Lock. Chin in, chest out. Feel this stretch across the chest.

Eyes: Eyes stare beyond the thumb to In nity.

Time: Practice for 3 minutes on each side.
