Camel Pose (Ustrasana) - Yoga Stretch for Spine and Chest Opening #218261 (License: Personal Use)

This minimalist line drawing depicts Ustrasana (Camel Pose), a foundational backbending asana where the practitioner kneels with thighs perpendicular to the floor, arches the spine backward, and places hands on the heels or feet while lifting the chest. The pose emphasizes spinal extension, shoulder opening, and engagement of the quadriceps and glutes. Proper alignment avoids excessive compression in the lumbar spine by initiating the bend from the thoracic region.

Used in yoga instructional content, mobile apps, or wellness blogs to visually guide users through pose execution; matches user intent for learning safe backbends, improving flexibility, or preparing for deeper inversions.
