Yoga Relaxation Exercises
These asanas provide mental peace and one feels energetic after just few hours of practice. This asana has two variations. You can learn this asana as below:
Routine I:
- Best time do this asan just before the sleep after a hard days' work. Lie flat on the back over a blanket in clean and quiet place.
- Maintain some distance between your legs. Place your hands along side the waist with palm fingers curled up.
- Hold the spinal chord and the neck straight. Keep your eyes and lips closed with ease.
- Hold your body positions firm and get conscious towards breathing. Breathe easy and get your consciousness up to the navel zone. Become free from all the physical and mental afflictions.
- Begin mental counting, say 27. Breathe easy then along with swelled tummy repeat 27. Repeat again this number when you exhale out. Next time when you inhale then mentally count 26.
- Repeat this number when you exhale out. Complete this inverse counting without any miss. Suppose if you miss out then begin once again from the start.
- Do not make any change in your rhythm or style of breathing. You will certainly get relaxed and peaceful by the time you're counting gets over. Now get in the Sukhasana pose and relax.
Routine II:
- Hold oneself in tadasana pose with the both the arms overhead. Maintaining the physical balance on the toes, raise one leg and extend it either forward or backward.
- Repeat this with the other leg. Practice this for 10 times.
- Lie flat on the stomach over a clean blanket. Hold both the legs together with the straight knees. Keep the paws relaxed, holding the sole upward.
- Bring forward the hands and interlock the fingers. Bend the elbows and place the palms just above the neck. Support the elbows on the blanket.
- Close your eyes with ease and remain conscious towards the breathing. Realize the soothing warmth of the palms evaporating the tensions in the neck and related areas. Maintain yourself for five minutes in such positions.
- Now again lay down in shavasana pose.
