MRITHYOMA AMRYUTHANGAMAYA
The journey from mortality to immortality(eternity)

And on this beautiful day let us start a new series. The " HOW TO " Series. 
We will be concentrating on how an aasana has to be done METHODICALLY AND GRADUALLY.  How you go into an exercise and then get out of it SAFELY.  😂 It does sound weird but its true, sometimes you could get stuck in an aasana, and if you did try to just get out of it, you would probably dismantle your body or hurt yourself !

STARTING WITH ONE OF MY FAVOURITES - SARVANGAASAN
And yeah its the doubt you get, why do it ?
Why sarvangaasan  ???
Works on cranial plexus
For back pain relief
Pregnant women can do this aasan  up-to 8 months of pregnancy.
Improves the blood flow in the head
Works on your entire spinal cord.


STEP 1
Make yourself comfortable first. Don't be in a hurry, don't do it if you are in a hurry.
Touch your feet, slightly stretch yourself.
INHALE.

STEP 2

Now EXHALE, and roll back, hands over your head , keep legs split and hold your feet on rolling back.
Keep rolling back and forth, until you are comfortable and can hold your feet at the back and stay there in a stable position.
There is no limit to how many times you roll, if you are already familiar with the aasan, it will not take you more than 2, but otherwise keep doing it so that you do not strain your back.

STEP 3.

Now once you get the rolling bit right..
INHALE.. Hold your waist with your hands, EXHALE and then raise your legs with the split. Bend your knees while lifting your legs that is no problem.
And VOILAA !! there you goo successfully into the aasana !!
And the split is necessary because it reduces the strain on your back and neck.

STEP 4.

Now come the variations.
First the cyclinggg. Its awesome to do and watch both. It is kinda mesmerising. 👀😍
Keep legs together, straight up, make sure your waist is also straight aligned with your legs.
And cycle both clockwise and anticlockwise.
INHALE 👇
Note the postion of the foot at the back, its flexed. while the other in the air is extended.

EXHALEE 👇
Here, note the position of the foot. One is flexed while you go up to down (forward)

INHALE 👇

After you do it clockwise and anticlockwise..comess

STEP 5.

This one is a beauty too. It is like a top spin. 👌💫
Fold your legs just like you do on the fold, a simple foldd. 👇 INHALE

You'll get it after the first few times. its just a spin. Check the video out on instagram for clarity, ill post the link below. EXHALE. 👇

INHALE. And go back to the folding step.

STEP 6.

Here is my favouriteee.
First off change the postion of your hands around your waist. Turn them around a bit and hold waist again.
INHALE 👇 Note the hand position. or you will hurt your wrist.

EXHALE. Note the hand position.

Repeat with other leg.

And go back straight up legs together, then go to split, then bring knees down to the forehead andddd
then,
STEP 7

INHALE, when your knees are touching your forehead.
EXHALE, and take legs backkk, do not worry if your knees are bent, its better to do it with bent knees until your body becomes accustomed.

Again split your legs behind your head, hold feet with your hands and roll back to the 1st step.

Watch the video on INSTAGRAM to do it better 👍👇

LOWER BACK PAIN PART 2

HEY !!!

I am back sooner this time !! SURPRISE SURPRISE !! 😂

Back with another part of lower back pain.
 This is for the people who cannot do the previous part of lower back pain. This is for pain caused by other factors such as Vitamin B12 defeciency, constipation, kidney problems  other than strain that is, though the initial two aasanas are common for both.

Do each aasan for about 9 to 15 counts and repeat for 2 or 3 rounds.

1. STANDING GOMUKHA

INHALE as you take your arm from the side.
EXHALE as you try to hold hands together. If you cant reach it does not matter. 👍

Make sure legs are like in the pic and repeat the aasan with your other hand and leg.

Repeat the same with the other leg and arm.

2. VEERABADHRAASAN 3


INHALE and start with this stance, the heels of both your feet should be perpendicular to each other.

On EXHALATION raise one leg up.
You must excuse the serious expression and the enjoy of the water in the backgrounds. 😂
Repeat the same with the other leg.

3. CHALANA KATTI MALCHARAASAN


Lie down with folded legs comfortably with your hands raised above your head.
Now INHALE, with your head in the centre, on EXHALATION turn your head to the left.

Repeat the aasan with your head turned to the opposite side.

4. ASHTANGA NAMANAASAN

Lie down in prone position i.e tummy down, raise your buttocks up.
INHALE, and on EXHALATION slowly turn your waist to the left.

Repeat by turning waist to the right.

5. SHAALABAASAN

Lie down. INHALE and on EXHALATION raise your chest off the ground, arms and legs balancing on your abdomen, no stress, if you overdo it it can cause pain in your thigh and buttock so go slow and do not forget to breathe.

6. BUJANGAASAN


INHALE, lying down, and on EXHALATION, raise your body up as in the picture below.
Make sure head faces upwards.

7. SHAYANA EKA PAADHA BEKHANA AASAN

Support you body on your elbows and knees.
Then raise your right leg up and the left hand onto your right hand as in the pic.
INHALE first, then on EXHALATION raise leg.
Raise leg as far as it goes, raising it as far as it forms a straight line with your body is also good enough.

Repeat the exercise with the opposite leg.
