Explain the benefits and contraindications of Vajrasana.
Answers
Answer:
If you have stiff joints or your movement has become difficult you should practice Vajrasana (Thunderbolt Pose) with a lot of care. Put your weight slowly on your heels. To do this, balance your weight on your shins and your hands so that you do not put undue pressure on your knees. Approach this pose slowly, at least in the beginning.
Injured Ankles or Knees Ligaments: This pose can be hard on the knees and the ankles if one is not flexible with these muscles and joints. This pose should not be practiced if one is suffering from injured ligaments at the ankles or at the knees.
Hernia or Ulcers: Those suffering from hernia or intestinal ulcers should take medical advice and guidance before practicing this and should perform this pose with a trained yoga teacher. The pressure on the anus in this pose may bring unwanted pressure to the intestine.
Runners with Hamstring or Calf Injury: Runners should avoid this if they have injury in their hamstrings or the calves.
Arthritis in Knees: Not to be practiced by people who have severe arthritis of the knees.
