☆ Relaxation Asanas ☆

SHAVASANA, ADVASANA, JYESTIKASANA, MAKARASANA, MATSYA KRIDASANA, SUPTA BADDHAKONASANA, SHASHANKASANA, BALASANA

Relaxation asanas give the body the rest it so badly needs. Constant postural abnormalities put excess strain on muscles of the back and just lying down does not relieve it.

These relaxation practices are very relaxing to the spine and related structures. They are specially recommended for any back or spinal problem.

The asanas in this group appear very easy at first, yet to do them properly is quite difficult as the tension in all the muscles of the body must be consciously released.

These postures can be adopted during any time of the day for any comfortable duration. They can be combined with relaxing activities as well.

The poses demonstrated in the video include:

SHAVASANA (corpse pose)

ADVASANA (reversed corpse pose)

JYESTIKASANA (superior posture)

MAKARASANA (crocodile pose)

MATSYA KRIDASANA (flapping fish pose)

SUPTA BADDHAKONASANA (reclining fixed angle pose)

SHASHANKASANA (pose of the moon or hare pose)

BALASANA (child’s pose)

(This is only a demonstration to facilitate practice of the asanas. It must be supplemented by a thorough study of each of the asanas. Careful attention must be paid to the contra indications in respect of each one of the asanas. It is advisable to practice under the guidance of a yoga teacher.)
