L'arc est une posture très favorable à la relaxation. Dhanurasana tonifie et stimule les muscles du dos, libère la tension au niveau des épaules, masse les organes internes, les glandes et les abdominaux. La poitrine étant très ouverte, les problèmes respiratoires dus à une mauvaise posture ou à une tension chronique diminuent, voire disparaissent. 4, record 1, French, - posture%20de%20l%27arc
