New Delhi, May 31 (IANS). Ardhawshasana is an impressive and simple asana in the world of yoga, which promotes physical health, mental peace and spiritual balance.
It is also known as the “Half Camel Pose”, which is a less intense form of complete Ustrasana. This asana plays an important role in making the spine flexible, reducing stress and keeping the body energetic.
This asana is ideal, especially for the initial and intermediate level candidates, as it can be done easily to correct physical ability. With regular practice, this asana not only increases physical flexibility, but also encourages mental stability and confidence.
To do paramilitary, first choose a quiet and clean place, where exercises can be started by laying yoga mats. Sit on your knees, in such a way that both the knees are at a distance equal to the width of the hips and the claws of the feet are backwards. Relax the shoulders while keeping the spine straight. Now move the right hand slowly to the right heel or rest it on the hip. After this, raise the left hand upwards and slowly tilt the back backwards. Keep eyes up or back and keep the breath normal. Stay in this posture for 15 to 30 seconds, taking deep breaths. Return to the normal position slowly without putting unnecessary pressure on the body and then repeat this process from the other side. It is enough to do this asana two to three times on both sides.
However, pregnant women, people with spine or neck problems and high blood pressure patients should consult an expert before doing it.
This asana benefits the body and mind in many ways. Tilt the spine backwards increases its flexibility, which relieves back pain. Stretching of the abdominal muscles improves digestive system and reduces problems like constipation. This asana opens the heart cycle, causing stress and anxiety. The expansion of the chest increases the lung capacity and strengthens the respiratory system. The hips, thighs and back muscles are strong, which increases the overall strength of the body. Also, it improves blood circulation, which is beneficial for heart health.
Ardh-vishnasana is a yogasana that provides many benefits along with being simple. Starting it under the supervision of a yoga instructor ensures the correct technology and safety. A healthy, flexible and energetic life can be lived by including this asana in your routine.
