The traditional star pose involves extending your limbs outwards and creating a star-like shape. The inverted star pose is like a variation of the shoulder stand, where you hang upside down in a star-like pose. We only recommend doing the inverted star pose if you are comfortable with aerial yoga and have no history of neck or back injuries.

The star pose targets and engages the upper body, core muscles, and lower body, including the shoulders, abdominals, obliques, lower back, quads, and hip flexors.

We recommend practicing the star pose around two to three times a week to improve strength and flexibility. However, don’t over-practice! You must listen to your body and practice the pose based on your comfort level to avoid injury or strain.
