Ushtrasana<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Kneel on the floor, keeping the thighs and feet a little apart, toes pointing back and resting on the floor.
\n\u2022 Rest the palms on the hips; stretch the thighs; curve the spine back and extend the ribs.
\n\u2022 Now exhale, place the right palm on the right heel and left palm over the left heel.
\n\u2022 Press the feet with palms, throw the head and neck backward.
\n\u2022 Keep the body weight on the arms.
\n\u2022 Remain in this position for about 30 seconds while keeping the breath normal.
\n\u2022 Release the hands one by one and return to kneeling position and then sit on the floor and relax.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bhujangasana<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Lie down in prone position, with legs straight and feet extended and together.
\n\u2022 Keep the forehead pressed to the ground.
\n\u2022 Completely relax the body in this posture.
\n\u2022 Then breathe in, press the head back and slowly raise the head and shoulders off the ground by bending the neck and back muscles.
\n\u2022 Straighten the arms gradually but without any unusual pressure on them: look at sky; hold the breath.
\n\u2022 Keep the navel very close to the ground.
\n\u2022 Try to maintain the posture as long as you can.
\n\u2022 Exhale and slowly return to the normal position; the forhead and chin touching the ground; and relax.
\n\u2022 Repeat it 2-3 times.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shalabhasana<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Lie face downwards on the floor, hands and legs stretched, legs together, arms by sides, hands tightly clenched.
\n\u2022 Stretch the neck out but the chin on the floor and not the face.
\n\u2022 Inhale and raise both the legs together as high as possible without any bend at the knee.
\n\u2022 Hold the position for maximum duration, exhale and lower the legs slowly.
\n\u2022Repeat the process 2-3 times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
