Pose Practice (Intense - Uttanasana: Forward Bend)
This pose cures stomach pains and tones the liver, spleen and kidneys. It
relieves stomach pain during menstruation. The heart is slowed down and the
spinal nerves are rejuvenated. Any depression felt in the mind is removed if the
pose is held for 2 minutes or more. This pose is good for people who get excited
quickly, as it soothes the brain cells. After finishing the asana, one feels
calm and cool, the eyes start to glow and the mind feels at peace.
Try It!
Stand in Tadasana (mountain pose).
Exhale, bend forward and place fingers on the floor
in front of or beside the feet or clasp your elbows.
Hold the head up at first to help
stretch the sternum forward.
Move the hips forward bringing
the hips over the ankles so the legs are perpendicular to the floor.
Breathe.
Exhale, move the trunk closer to the legs and rest the
ribs and then the head on the knees or shins.
Keep the knee caps lifting up and roll the inner
upper thighs back.
Hold this position for 60 seconds and breathe evenly.
Inhale, raise the head from the legs and straighten the arms.
After two breathes, inhale deeply, lift the arms and
torso and come up, stand in Tadasana.
