Pawanmuktasana:
This asana, as its name suggests, is ideal for
releasing abdominal gas. To get into the pose, lie on your back with your legs
together and arms beside your body. With an exhale, bring your right knee
towards your chest, wrap your arms around your folded leg and press such that
the thigh is against the abdomen. Breathe in and as you exhale, lift your head
up and attempt to touch your chin to your right knee. Hold the pose and
breathe. As you exhale, tighten the grip of the
hands on the knee and as your inhale, loosen the grip. With a finally exhale,
release the head, loosen the arm grip and rest your legs back on the floor.
Repeat the pose with left leg and then with both the legs together. You may
also rock up and down or roll from one side to another before finally relaxing.
The pose is ideal for digestion and strengthening
the back and the abdominal muscles. The intestines and other abdominal organs
are massaged. Blood circulation in the hip joints is enhanced and the lower
back muscles are relaxed. One should avoid the pose in case of high blood
pressure, heart problems, hyperacidity, hernia, slip disc, severe neck and back
pain and after the second trimester of pregnancy.
