To do Boat Pose (Navasana), sit on the floor, lean back slightly to balance on your sit bones, and lift your feet and straightened legs into a "V" shape, keeping your spine long and arms extended parallel to the floor. Engage your core to maintain the pose for several breaths, focusing on an upright chest and engaged lower belly. This pose builds core strength and balance but can be modified for beginners by keeping the knees bent or using props. Steps to Perform Boat Pose Start seated: Sit on your yoga mat with your legs extended straight in front of you. Prepare for lift: Place your hands on the floor slightly behind your hips, fingers pointing forward. Lean back: Lift through your chest, draw your shoulders back, and lean back slightly while keeping your spine long.
