Ushtrasana (Camel Pose)
'Ushtra' is a sanskrit word, which means camel. This asana
is therefore called camel posture.
Procedure:
1. First sit in Bajrasana posture and stand up on your knees.
2. Gradually seperate your knees until they are about 25
to 30 cm apart. Now place your hands on your waist in such
a way that your fingers should be towards your abdomen and
your thumbs on your kidneys towards your back. In this state,
throw your neck back and also bend backward from your waist.
When the bend is complete, take your hands off your waist
and put them on the front and your neck as far back as possible.
3. Stay in this position for some time and take breath in
a normal way, white coming back, place your hands on your
waist and stand erect on your knees. Then sit in the rest
posture.
Benefits:
1. It has a good effect on the glands of the neck.
2. The fatness of the belly and wais are gradually removed
and the body becomes more elastic.
3. It corrects the digestive system and removes the disorders
of the abdomen.
4. It gives energy to the chest and the lungs, and checks
tridosha.
