Spinal
Twist - Matsyendrasana
|
***Stimulates
Kundilini***
|
Sitting with back
straight and legs outward in front of you bend the right knee and bring the heel of right
foot close to left hip. Inhale and bend left knee upward and place the left foot flat on
the floor to the right of the right leg with the ankle touching the right thigh. While
turning the spine to the left straighten the right arm bringing it around to the
outside of the left knee and grasp the left foot with the right hand. Turn head to the
left and extend left arm behind back. Keep spine, neck, head aligned. Somewhat tricky/
difficult to breath deeply at first however once you learn how to breath gently filling
your lungs and expanding chest this posture will provide greater benefits. Untangle
yourself and reverse sides.
