New -Delhi, May 31 (IANS). ‘Yoga’ not only improves physical health, but also provides spiritual peace and spiritual balance. In such a situation, we tell you today about a yogasana, which is a blessing in the stressful life of today. There is talk about ‘Shashankasana’, also called ‘Rabbit Mudra’. This Asana not only gives flexibility to the spine, but also helps to calm the spirit and reduce tension. Come know about the right way to do ‘shashankasana’ and its benefits. ‘Shashankasana’ is a simple and effective yoga body, which can easily do early and experienced yogi’s. In this posture, the state of the body becomes like a rabbit. Wear loose and comfortable clothes to do this. Also, exercise it on an empty stomach or 3-4 hours after meals. First, put in Vajrasana and bend your knees, rest the buttocks on the ankles. Keep the spine straight and keep both hands on the knees. Keep the shoulders loose and normalize the breath. If you breathe deeply and slowly raise both hands upwards. During this time, the palms must be against each other. As you breathe slowly, the body tilts forward and trying to get your forehead off the ground. During this time, spreading both hands to the ground, the palms must be downward. Your stomach must touch the thighs and stay on the ankles on the buttocks. In this situation, your body will create a rabbit -like form, so it is also called ‘rabbit body attitude’. Stay in this posture for 20-30 seconds or increase the time according to your naturalness. Keep the breath normal and deep. Focus on your breath. During this time you can close the eyes to keep the Spirit calm. If you breathe, lift the body slowly and return to Vajrasana. Also, put the hands back on the knees and take a few seconds normal. Repeat this two or three times as needed. This Asana makes the spine strong and flexible, relieving back pain. Pasting the forehead on the ground increases the circulation in the brain, reducing tension and anxiety and light pressure on the stomach, improving the digestive system and relieving the constipation problem. In addition, it helps to increase attention and concentration. If you sit in the state of Vajrasana, the muscles of the knees and ankles are reinforced. This Asana stimulates pituitary and pineal glands, which help with hormonal balance. However, pregnant women should avoid doing this Asana. In addition, this Asana should not be done without the advice of the specialist in case of pain in the knees or back. People with high blood pressure or dizziness should also be careful while doing so. It is said that it is best to do ‘Shashankasana’ on an empty stomach. You can stretch lightly or do sin alutations before doing so, so that the body gets warm. Regular practice offers full benefits, so it includes your routine. -Ians fm/
