                                           Malasana

Malasana is used for regular squatting pose. The name comes from the Sanskrit word Mala meaning Garland and asana meaning posture.

How to do Malasana :

• Stand in Tadasana.(Refer my post on how to do Tadasana
• http://yourdailyyoga.blogspot.in/2017/12/time-to-get-healthy.html )
• Bend your knees and get to the squat position with balancing your weight on your feet.
• Spread out your thighs slightly wider than your torso.
• Exhale and lean forward so that your torso fits between your thighs.
• Now bring your hands to Namaste mudra and concentrate on the pose.
• Hold in this pose for 30 seconds then relax.
• Repeat this asana for 5 to 10 minutes daily. 

Benefits of Malasana :

• Strengthens your back, hips, knees and groin.
