This exercise is:
Good for the Brain: You need to concentrate in postural alignment, balance, core stabilization. Cross lateral movement: When you raise the left arm and right leg you are forcing both brain hemispheres to communicate and work together.
Left, right brain hemisphere, coordination (basal ganglia, cerebellum)
Good for your body:
Core strength. When your body is in imbalance your core is really activated then it requires extreme precision and strength from the sensory proprioceptors
