Paschimottanasana is sometimes seen as a continuation of dandasana or better put a posture that you can move into from dandasana, even though it is a stand alone pose in its own right. As a seated forward bend, in this pose the entire back of the body from head to heels, including the spinal column, is deeply stretched. As a result of this deeply stretching pose, the overall mobility and flexibility of the spine occurs in the pose - just the thought of this makes my spine happy!
