This Asan id performed in standing position
Technique:
1. Standing erect with heels touching and toes at about 90o
apart.
2. Entwine the fingers of both hands
3. Perform the following three steps simultaneously:
a. Raise the body up slowly
supporting on toes and heels touching each other.
b. Raise the arms slowly and
stretch over the head
c. Breath in slowly
4. Hold the breath and hold this position of body and arms for
10-60 seconds.
5. Lower the body heels and arms very slowly while breathing out
slowly.
This is one round. It may take 1 to 2 minutes. You may start with 2-
rounds and increase to 5-rounds in 3-weeks.
This is a very useful Asan because;
a. We are stretching and
relaxing the whole body. It increases the flow of blood.
b. We are exercising the joint
and muscles of the feet and the ancle.
c. We are doing pranayama
by breathing in (Rechak) holding (Kumbhak) and breathing
out (Purak).
I recommend this Asan as a Quikie for a day when you are traveling or
have some other engagements and can’t perform the complete set. In that
case, perform at least 10 rounds, each two times during the day.
Advantages:
1. This posture is good for Asthma.
2. It activates respiratory system.
3. It may increase the height of young-ones.
Please consult your personal physician before you start any Yog-sadhna
practice.
