Wind Removing Pose
BENEFITS:
- Remove wind, hopefully after class
- Massages ascending, descending and transverse colon, aiding in elimination
- Regulates and normalizes hydrochloric acid levels in stomach
- Improves and may cure conditions of constipation, flatulence and hyperacidity
- Relieves lower back pain
- Improves flexibility of the hip joints
- Firms and tones muscles of the abdominal wall, thighs and hips
tips:
- Slide inner thigh away from the rib cage so that eventually the knee will come down to touch the shoulder.
- Press fingers into the hands to maintain a tight grip, slipping will decrease as hands grow stronger.
- As you advance, work on lengthening the neck more by dragging the eyes down to the chest, the base of the skull on the floor and the shoulders away from the ears.
- The more the legs are relaxed, the greater the opening in the hips.
