This helps stretch your abs and glutes, and also gives your spine a stretch.Upright poseLie on your stomach with your feet shoulder width apart, and hold the danda with both hands in less than arms distance from your face. Press the soles of your feet together while holding the danda between your feet and sit straight, with the spine erect. Keeping your weight on the danda, lift your upper torso with the face up, repeat 10 times. Exhale, bend your knees, pull your heels toward your pelvis, then drop your knees out to the sides.
Breathe in and out deeply for half a minute or more. Danda yoga primarily aims to re-construct a strong core in the body of a healthy yogi. Aside from being fun and engaging, yoga with sticks is recommended for people who already have a certain degree of fitness, are strong and athlete, and is not meant for first-timers.

Sit on the “tripod” of your two sitting bones and tailbone, and place the danda at the centre of your body, length-wise and balance for half a minute or more holding it with your feet together.
