Yoga Postures Weight Loss with Illustrated : VEERASANA
Vira means brave. The way a brave man takes position while attacking his enemy, the similar position is formed in this asana, hence it is called as Virasana.
Releasing :
1. Start bringing the body forward and place the hands on the knee. Keep sight to the front.
2.
Straighten the knee and restore the hands to their original place.
3. Restore the left leg to its place and take up standing position.
Duration :
It should be maintained for at least one minute, to have the desired strain and benefits; with practice, duration can be increased to three minutes.
Internal Effects :
In this asana the joints of the legs, the waist, the spinal column and the neck get curved in opposite direction. As a result of this, the blood circulation to these joints is regulated. The spinal column becomes elastic and its functioning improves. There is pressure on the digestive organs and the belly gets stretched, which promotes their functioning.
Precaution :
The process of the backward bending should be slow and controlled, else it becomes difficult to maintain the balance. The loss of balance may prove injurious to certain parts of the body. Slow and controlled movements help in having halt at the needed point and avoiding the unwanted strain.
