Yoga Postures with Illustrated Weight Loss : HALASANA

Author : Mr. Vishwas Vasant Mandlik

The body takes the shape similar to a plough ( Hala in Sanskrit ). Also as the plough makes the hard ground soft, in this asana the veins are stretched which reduces the stiffness of the body.

Pre position : Supine Position

 

Step 1 : Exhale and inhaling, start raising both the legs upward and stop when they make angle of 90 degree with the floor. Attain the Uttanpadasana posture.


Step 2
: Exhaling raise the waist, hips and push the legs backward over the head. Try to maintain the balance.

Step 3 : After exhaling completely, push the legs further back and try to touch ground with toes. Keep the toes stretched. Continue normal breathing.

Position :
Keep the knees straight or else the expected pressure on the organs is not achieved. In this position head, the shoulders, toes and arms should rest on the ground. The chin pressed in Jalandhar Bandha.

Releasing :
1.  Exhale and inhaling lift the toes of the floor keeping the legs straight in knees.
2.  Continue inhaling and slowly keep the back on the ground and take the Uttanpadasana position.
3.  Exhaling, bring legs back to the normal position without jerk or speed.

Duration :
This asana is difficult initially, especially for women with heavy hips and men with big belly's. Initially you can take help of other person while raising the hips and waist. This asana should be maintained for 30 seconds after sufficient practice to get the desired results.

All the muscles from toes to waist are also stretched helping improvement in the functioning of veins.
This asana is also useful for gastric troubles, digestion problems.
