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.
