Wake up and Loosen up with HALASANA

Hi friends,

         Today we will see "The Plow Pose".

                                     Health tip of the day: HALASANA

                                                           Halasana

Halasana is a whole body rejuvenating posture. The name comes from the Sanskrit word Hal meaning plough and asana meaning posture.

How to do Halasana :

• Lie flat on your back on a flat surface.
• Keep your hands beside your body with palms facing the ground.
• Now slowly lift your legs off the floor to 90-degree angle.
• Now support your hips with your hands, breathing normally bend your legs back to 180-degree such that your toes touch the ground.
• Now rest your hands beside your body with palms touching the ground.
• Completely relax your body.
• Stay in this pose for 10 to 30 seconds and get back to Savasana. (Refer my post to savasana
• http://yourdailyyoga.blogspot.in/2018/01/wake-up-and-loosen-up-with-savasana.html ).
• Repeat this posture for 5 to 10 minutes daily.

Benefits of Halasana :

• Strengthens your back, neck, shoulders and legs.
• Relaxes your nervous system.
• Improves leg flexibility.
• Strengthens your immune system.
• Helps women during menopause.

Important Note :

Do this asana slowly as you might end up breaking your neck.
If you have a heart problem, back or neck injuries avoid practising this asana.
Beginners, please do it under proper supervision.
