The prone pose is a common body position used in yoga, exercise, and physical therapy where a person lies flat on the stomach facing downward. This position is often used in many yoga asanas to strengthen the back, improve posture, and increase flexibility. In yoga practice, the prone pose helps activate the muscles of the spine, shoulders, and legs while also supporting better breathing and body alignment. Many beginners learn the prone pose as a starting position for poses like Cobra, Locust, and Bow pose. Practicing in the prone position regularly can help reduce back stiffness, improve balance, and support overall body strength, making it an important part of a healthy yoga routine.
