banana + asana = ?


banana + asana ≠  keep the doctor away

banana + asana ≠ hanging from a tree

banana + asana = bananasana

Even if you are one to eat 30 bananas a day, you only need to do 2 bananasanas, one on each side...and not everyday. And you get to be the banana!

Bananasana is a restorative yoga pose that is held for 3-10 minutes. In the bananasana, the side of the body (obliques, intercostal muscles, gluteus minimus, gluteus medius, tensor fasciae latae, and the IT band) is being stretched.

When finished with both sides, you can draw the knees into the chest. This makes for a nice counterpose.
