Physical benefits of prayer postures
I was listening to a lecture and this aspect was raised. Salaah is little like "spiritual yoga or pilates".
Qiyam (standing): I can't see any benefit apart from standing "
straight
" which would assist general posture.
Ruku' (bowing): a nice back stretch exercise! Keeping the back straight is important. Aids flexibility and suppleness. Good for the hamstrings.
Sujood (prostration): blood runs to the head / brain helping it? Inverter machines do a similar job.
Tashahhud (kneeling): my knees and ankles sometimes "click" in this position. Dont know of any benefit. In everyday life you normally don't sit in this position.
