The erector muscles of the back run parallel to the spine and are of great importance with poses such as standing forward fold (uttanasana) and Kurmasana. Backbends such as Urdhva Danurasana strengthen these muscles. When activated the third and fourth chakras (manipura and anahata) are illuminated. In order to keep these muscles strong it is so important the antagonist muscles (abdominal) are strong. The core is one of the most important areas to keep strong in your yoga practice as it is the main stabilizer and final touch for all poses.
