Nithyananda Yoga for You🔗

When the dynamism is low in the person, martial arts can be practiced to strengthen Mars energy. Otherwise, gentle yoga postures which work on ma´ip¦raka cakra, as well as S¦rya Namask¢r (the ancient Sun salutation), can be practiced by all natives!

Ardha Matsyendr¢sana :

Instructions:

To blissfully enjoy the benefits of any ¢sanas, make sure your body is warmed up, the spine worked on and stretched out before entering the postures.

• Sit in vajr¢sana(kneel and sit on your heels)
• Perform the posture on the right side first. Simply allow the buttocks to fall to the left side.
• Using your hands, help to lift your right leg and place the foot on the outside of the left knee.
• Ensure that both hips are down on the floor as evenly as possible.
• Bring the right hand behind your back (about 1 foot away from the spine), fingertips pointing outward. (Elbow can be bent if needed to create more space between torso and legs).
• Bring the left arm up, and push back the knee with the left elbow. Keep the elbow bent with the palm facing outward.
• Look over your right shoulder.
• Inhale, lengthen the spine.
• Exhale, gently twist around, looking gently over your right shoulder more.
• You can hold this ¢sanafor 6 breaths.
• After the last exhale, inhale as you bring the head around to the front.
• Then exhale and allow the body to unwind slowly.
• Repeat on the other side.

Benefits:

This ¢sana gives a complete rotary movement to the entire vertebral column, and works on the digestive power which planet Mars represents. It can lead one to complete inner transformation by giving an experience of no-mind state.
