  YOGMUDRA

 

In yoga mudra, one has to sit as in the padmasana, sukhasana or vajrasana. Here again one must concentrate on the body movements and the breath flow. This asana involves stretching, too. In yoga postures one must concentrate first on the correctness of posture, then attention should be focused on breathing and relaxation. When you bend forward as far as it is comfortable, attention must also be paid to the hands. Breathe slowly and regularly. Know your flexibility and do not strain beyond a point. Relax into the posture. 
 

Steps to follow (YOGMUDRA) :

1. Sit in a posture like padmasana.
2. The hands must be taken back and hold the palm of one hand with the other.
3. With the spine erect,  exhale  as  you lower your head  towards  the  ground as far as you can.
4. By holding the breath out, the arms must be raised upward as far as possible.
5. Remain in this  position  for  6  to 8 seconds and then inhale to come back  to  the starting position.

Benefits :

# It does away with the extra fat in the stomach.
# It makes the body strong and the will power is increased.
# It gives strength to the liver, bile and heart.
