INSTRUCTIONS:
Kneel, with the knees together, the feet
about 12 inches apart, soles upward, and sit between the
feet, then bend backwards until the spine rests on the
floor.
Being relaxed is very important.
When you have acquired more flexibility
(maybe you need some weeks), you can proceed to full
position, bending to floor with hands behind the head,
without moving the knees.
When you have done, bend on a side and
slowly regain Savasana pose.
BENEFITS: This is another posture
useful for meditation (Sasamgasana
is helpful for relaxing shoulders, Supta Vairasana for legs
and for the lower part of the body), since helps us to relax
the tension of legs, that accrues because of over-activity
of the mind. Helps those suffering from constipation.
If you are suffering from any health condition, it is advisable not to perform these postures unless under the supervision of an experienced yoga instructor.
