Notice how Mr. Iyengar includes shoulderstand or one of its variations as 5 of the 12 poses in this restorative yoga sequence to boost immunity. Shoulderstand is the Queen Mother of poses because it strives for harmony in the body. Learn more at B.K.S. Iyengar’s book, YOGA: The Path to Holistic Health.
