Hi, Yoga asanas not only keeps you physically fit but also improves your mental health by keeping away from stress and anxiety. 1. Dhanurasana (Bow pose): Lie down with your belly on the ground. Your chin should be touching the ground. Keep hands beside you with your palms facing upward. Your legs should be placed at a 6 inches distance from one another. Bend your legs at the knees and bring the heels close to your hips. Now grasp the ankles with both your hands. Slowly lift your chin, head and neck backwards. Your chest should be still on the ground. Now inhale deeply and lift your legs, thighs, chest till only your abdomen is touching the ground. Balance yourself on the abdomen only. Pull your legs with your hands as much as possible so as to arch your body completely in the shape of a bow. Bring your feet together. Now look up and gaze at a point on the ceiling. This is your final position. Hold your breath while in this position. When you feel a strain on your back, exhale fully and return to your original position. 2. Urdhava Hastotanasana: This is a good stretching asana that not only gives you a lean waist but also a broad chest. Here?s how to do it. Stand erect with your feet together. Raise your hands above your head in a namaste. Now keeping your legs grounded, bend your body to the right as much as possible till you feel a strain on your left waist. Stay for 15 seconds. Return back to the original position. Now bend left. Retain this position for another 15 seconds. Slowly you may increase the holding time to 30 seconds 3. Baddha Konasana (Cobbler pose): A perfect asana to shape up your thighs and buttocks. Sit on your yoga mat with a straight spine. Bend your legs at the knees and the edge of the soles of both your feet touching each other. The heels should be touching your inner thigh. Now grasp the ankles of both your legs. As you inhale deeply, straighten your spine and draw your shoulder blades backwards. Exhale and press the soles together. Maintain this posture for as long as comfortable taking deep breaths. If possible, bend forward from the waist to touch the chin on the ground. 4. Balasana: End the asanas with Balasana or child pose. This yoga not only gives you a chance to rest after having done with all. This is also called the child?s pose. Sit on the floor with bent knees. They should be separated from one another. Your hips should be resting on your heels. Place your hands on your thighs. Now start bending forward such that the upper torso is on your thighs. Bend further down to make your forehead touch the ground. Bring your hands back and let them lie freely on the ground beside your feet with palms facing the ceiling or you may also hold your heels with your hands. 5. Vrikshasana (Tree pose): Stand straight with your feet together and keep your hands by your side. Lift up your right leg up with bent knees and place your foot on your left inner thigh as in the picture. Your hands should be in a Namaste position. Lift them up above your head. Don?t bend your elbows. Balance your whole body only on your left foot. Breathe normally. When you want to exit, put down your hands and your legs and stand in normal position with hands by your side. Rest and repeat on your other leg too.
