Yoga Asana Apanasana Digestion Pose


Holistic yoga meditation -

Apanasana

Here is one of my most favourite hatha yoga stretches. It is very simple to do and the benefits can be felt instantly.

How To:

  • On your yoga mat, lie down on your back. Knees bent with feet flat on your mat.
  • As you exhale, gently firm your belly muscles and bring your feet up off your mat hugging your knees to your chest.
  • Inhale softly and on the next exhale, gently draw the legs closer to the chest.
  • On the next inhale let them relax and release.
Very simple.

Benefits:
  • Lengthens the spine.
  • Releases the lower back.
  • Settles the air in the belly.
Cautions:
  • If pregnant or have a large abdomen, keep the knees wide apart.
  • Prolapsed lumbar disc.
  • High blood pressure.
  • Hump in the upper back, place a cushion under your head.
This yoga stretch is very relaxing. A good yoga pose to add a meditation too.
Gauranga yoga meditation is a perfect choice.
