Benefits of Naukasana:
1. Naukasana strengthens the abdominal muscles.
2. It strengthens the muscles of the arms, thighs and shoulders.
3. It improves the health of all organs in the abdomen especially the liver, pancreas and kidneys.
4. It helps in regulating blood flow at sugar level
Naukasana comes from the two Sanskrit words 'nauka' which means 'boat' and 'asana' meaning 'posture' or 'seat'. It is a posture in which our body takes the shape of a boat. If you have always had a problem losing the extra paunch in your stomach area, then this asana is good for those who wish to reduce belly fat as well as to tone the abs. Naukasana is one of the few yoga poses that can be performed lying both on the stomach (prone position) and back (supine position). It is a little difficult to perform for yoga beginners. But don't be disheartened, you will get better with more practice and you can even ace at doing the advance yoga poses.
