Answer 2

It has many benefits like relieving constipation, reducing anger, maintenance of the back posture, control of adrenal glands etc.

Explanation:

• Raising our arms above our head is a good way to start. Stretching upwards from the base of the spine is to be done.
• As we lower our body to the floor, arms are to be kept straight. Hands are placed on the ground and a try to touch the floor with our forehead is done. Double-checking to make sure elbows are extended is important.
• Closing eyes and taking three to five deep breaths while holding the position is the next step.To exit the asana, first head is lifted off the floor, then torso and hands.

This is a simple asana with numerous health and mental benefits.

1. It stretches the back muscles and separates the individual vertebrae, allowing the discs to breathe. This posture alleviates the condition by encouraging the discs to return to their proper alignment.
2. It also controls how the adrenal glands operate.
3. It helps women with an undeveloped pelvis by toning the pelvic muscles and the sciatic nerves.
4. It aids in the treatment of both male and female reproductive organ diseases.
5. Constipation is relieved by regular practice.
6. It reduces anger and has a calming impact on the mind.
