Method: Sit on the ground, stretch the legs straight without bending in the front. Exhale and bend forward till you are able to catch hold of your toes keeping the legs straight. You may even bury your face between the knees. Remain thus for 5 seconds and then slowly raise the body to the original position and inhale. Repeat this asana 3 or 4 times.
Benefits: This is an excellent asana. All the foul air is forcibly expelled out of the lungs. All the abdominal muscles get vigorously contracted. This is a powerful abdominal exercise and stimulates the abdominal viscera such as the kidneys, liver and pancreas. It cures piles and controls diabetes. The spine becomes elastic and thereby perennial youth is established.
