Dhanuraasana (Bow pose)




Method: Lie on the ground with face downwards. Bend the legs backwards and catch the ankles with your hands and bend the body to resemble a bow resting yourself on your abdomen with your spine nicely arched. Maintain this pose for a few seconds and return to the original position. Repeat 3 to 4 times.


Benefits: All the benefits of Bhujangaasana can be derived to a greater degree in Dhanuraasana. The back muscles are well massaged. This removes constipation and cures dyspepsia rheumatism and gastro-intestinal disorders. It reduces fat, energizes digestion, invigorates appetite and relieves congestion of the blood in the abdominal viscera. This asana is highly beneficial for ladies.
