Pandiculation is different from doing asanas in yoga or other exercises. While yoga and other exercises involve stretching and strengthening the muscles, pandiculation is a technique that specifically targets muscle tension and stiffness.
Unlike yoga asanas, which often involve holding static stretches for a certain period of time, pandiculation involves actively contracting and then releasing the muscles, with the intention of releasing tension and improving flexibility.
Pandiculation is also different from traditional stretching exercises in that it involves a conscious awareness of the muscles being stretched and a deliberate effort to release tension in those muscles.
While yoga and other exercises can also help to improve flexibility and reduce muscle tension, pandiculation can be a useful addition to these practices as a way to enhance body awareness and release tension in specific muscles.
Additionally, pandiculation can be done in any position and is a technique that can be incorporated into daily life, rather than just during exercise or yoga practice.
