                                                             Mandukasana

Mandukasana is the best pose for back problems. The name comes from the Sanskrit word Manduka meaning frog and asana meaning posture.

How to do Mandukasana :

• Sit in Vajrasana. Refer my post on Vajrasana(http://yourdailyyoga.blogspot.in/2017/12/wake-up-and-loosen-up.html)
• Now make a fist with both hands and press it against your navel.
• Exhaling slowly bend forward.
• Look straight in front of you.
• Breathe normally.
• Stay in this pose for 10 to 30 seconds.
• Relax by inhaling and getting back to Vajrasana.
• Repeat this pose for 10 minutes daily.
