Health Benefits:

This pose helps relieve lower back tension while massaging the organs in the abdomen. You will feel the stretch in your external and internal oblique muscles.

Keep in Mind:

If you can't reach your partner's hand, just go as far as you comfortably can, and breath into that spot. Try to keep your hips against your partner's and your backs straight.
