Start by assuming marjariasana with the palms of the hands on the ground and the fingers pointing backward. Place the elbows at each side of the navel and waist. First, sit in padmasana, then place the weight of the body on the hands as described above and slowly lift the knees off the ground, into the air. Mayurasana should not be done at the beginning of asana practice. Do it after performing other asanas or any inverted postures. Mayurasana purifies the blood, alleviates constipation, flatulence, indigestion, dyspepsia and chronic gastritis. It stimulates the liver, kidneys, and gallbladder. Diabetic patients who are able to perform it can quickly improve their condition. When mayurasana is practiced the heart is massaged, the circulation is improved and metabolism is stimulated. The endocrine glands are regulated and their secretions are harmonized. The back muscles and spinal column are strengthened and in fact, muscles all over the body are strengthened. Mayurasana invigorates the entire system People suffering from peptic ulcers, hernia, heart disease, high blood pressure, brain tumors or ear, eye or nose infections must first cure their condition before attempting mayurasana. It is also said that mayurasana can awaken kundalini. However, if you cannot do this practice it does not mean that your kundalini will not awaken. #peacockpose #yoga #peacock #mayurasana #birds #yogainspiration #armbalance #yogachallenge #yogapractice #yogalife #yogaeveryday #yogafun #yogajourney #peacocks #asana #love #peacockfeathers #armbalances #yogaeverywhere #yogi #breathe #nature #yogalove #yogagirl #peacockbass #strength #yogamotivation #art #yogisspringintoflight #ayubazaar (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwlWAtqlptV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9rhgseyeg7n3

Sit with the legs stretched out in front of the body, hands on the knees. Inhale while raising the hands above the head and keeping the back straight. Exhale while bending forward from the hips and keep the head between the shoulders so that the spinal column is stretched. Clasp the big toes or ankles with the hands and bring the head down to rest on the knees. If this is not possible, hold the calf muscles. The back should not curve or hunch. In the final position, you can hold the breath or breathe normally, concentrating on the navel. When releasing the position inhale and raise the arms above the head while sitting up. Exhale while bringing the hands down to the knees. Stretching the legs (in front) on the ground, like a stick; bending forward, holding the toes with both hands and placing the forehead on the knees, is called paschimottanasana. This is the passive form of paschimottanasana. In the Shiva Samhita, it is called ugrasana. Ugra means ‘stern.’ It is more difficult to practice paschimottanasana in the morning than in the afternoon because the back muscles and nerves have not had time to loosen. Therefore, it is usually performed after having practiced some other asana or physical movement so that the spine and hamstrings are sufficiently supple. #paschimottanasana #yoga #yogaeveryday #yogalife #forwardfold #yogagirl #yogafit #yogaposes #yogamom #yogini #forwardbend #yogabody #namaste #love #yogainspiration #myhappyplace #yogapants #sarvangasana #astangayoga #halasana #yogabackwardbend #yogastrength #yogaasana #yogafuture #yogachallenges #yogaeverydamnday #yogacharya #yogaman #yogawomen #ayubazaar (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwivurAlrtp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13kp1c26jp5ea

Technique 1 Sit in siddhasana/Siddha yoni asana. With the right-hand thumb, close the right nostril and breathe in slowly and fully through the left nostril and out through the left nostril. Practice this ten times and then repeat the same process with the opposite nostril by closing the left nostril with the third finger of the right hand, leaving the two middle fingers bent and free. Develop breath control so that inhalation/exhalation continue for exactly the same length of time. Count up to 3, 4, 5 or 6 while inhaling and then exhale for the same count. This is a ratio of 1:1. Practice up to ten rounds. Later on, the ratio of inhalation/exhalation will be adjusted and then kumbhaka (retention) will also be added. However, firstly you must be able to equalize inhalation and exhalation. The progressive ratios are 1:1, 1:2, 1:2:2, 1:4:2, 1:4:2:3. There are two ways of closing the nostrils. One is by using the thumb and the third finger of the right hand with the middle fingers folded. The second is by performing nasagra or nasikagra mudra, in which the first and second fingers are placed between the two eyebrows at the root of the nose. The thumb is used to close the right nostril and the third finger is used to close the left. In either technique, the right hand is always used, even if you are left-handed in other tasks. Technique 2 Stage 1: Inhale as in Technique 1, through the left nostril. Then exhale through the right nostril. Practice in this way ten times. Stage 2: Inhale through the right nostril and exhale through the left ten times. Practice five to ten rounds. Then continue the practice for a few more rounds making the inhalations and exhalations completely equal. #pranayama #yoga #meditation #asana #love #namaste #mantra #mindfulness #yogalife #yogi #gratitude #hathayoga #omshanti #kundalini #prana #yogateacher #yogaeverydamnday #mudras #mantras #respiracion #pilates #breathe #reiki #patience #hereandnow #acceptance #aromatherapy #essentialoils #ashtanga #ayubazaar (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwQ04Z2lfkD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mpy5jah0599a

Technique 1: Bahiranga Trataka (external concentrated gazing) Practice in a dark room which is free from draughts and insects. Place a candle two to three feet in front of you with the flame at eye level. It is vital that the flame is still and does not flicker at all. Sit in a comfortable meditative pose, preferably siddhasana/Siddha yoni asana, and place the hands on the knees in either jnana or chin mudra. Relax your whole body, close your eyes and prepare yourself as for any meditative practice. Make yourself calm and quiet and be prepared to keep your body perfectly still throughout the whole practice. Practice kaya sthairyam (steadiness of the body) for a few minutes. Then open your eyes and gaze at the middle portion of the candle flame, just above the wick. Try to keep the eyes perfectly steady. Do not blink. Lower the eyelids if the eyes become sore or tired. Stare as long as possible, five or ten minutes, or if you can gaze longer without closing the eyes, do so. Only when you really need to, should you close the eyes. Try to keep the mind empty. If any thoughts come, put them out of the mind immediately. Remain the silent witness, Sakshi, throughout the whole practice. When you finally close the eyes keep them fixed on the impression of the flame in front, in chidakasha. If it moves to bring it back to the center and continue gazing until the impression disappears. Once you can stabilize the image, study it and look intently at the color. Sometimes you may not see light, but an impression which is blacker than chidakasha itself. Keep the mind completely devoid of thought. Only be aware of the object of concentration. When thoughts come, let them pass and remain uninvolved. #concentration #focus #meditation #fitness #workout #wellness #health #motivation #fit #love #training #yoga #balance #energy #trataka #martialarts #mindfulness #india #art #gaze #sports #determination #ayubazaar #flexibility #people #fun #healthylifestyle #control #fitfam #ayurveda (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvS9XA7FRvx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ihwkwv5cslno

To practice sutra neti a specially prepared thread has to be used. It should be made of cotton, not synthetic fiber, tightly wound together and wiped with melted beeswax. The width should be about 4 mm and a length, 36 cm. However, it is more convenient to use a thin rubber catheter lubricated with ghee so that it slides easily through the nasal passage. It is also a good idea to practice Jala neti before sutra neti to make sure the nostrils are clear. Technique Squat on the heels, tilt the head slightly back and insert the thread or catheter straight into the left nostril. The thread should not be forced through the nose but gently pushed so that it slowly passes down into the throat. When it reaches the back of the throat, put the first two fingers into the mouth and pull the thread out through the mouth leaving a few inches of thread hanging out of the nose. Slowly and gently pull the thread backward and forwards thirty to fifty times. Take it out slowly and perform in the same way through the opposite nostril. Pranayama should be practiced after completing this practice. According to the Hatharatnavali (1:38), once the thread has been pulled out of the mouth the two ends should be joined and the thread rotated through the nasal passage and mouth. However, it is very difficult to join the two ends securely while still being able to pass it through the nose comfortably. Therefore, it is probably quite sufficient to pull the thread forwards and backward. #yoga #fitness #meditation #love #sinus #workout #motivation #yogi #health #yogalife #fit #namaste #yogainspiration #pilates #yogaeverydamnday #mindfulness #nature #fitnessmotivation #yogagirl #snoring #peace #fitfam #travel #yogachallenge #training #instagood #yogalove #nasal #healthy #ayubazaar (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvQWCTUlwiK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vmnep60067ha

Technique Stand squarely, legs apart, body weight evenly distributed between the two feet and lean forward. Tilt the head to the right side and place the nozzle in the left nostril. Open the mouth slightly and breathe through the mouth. Keep the whole body relaxed and let the water pass out through the right nostril. When you have used half of the water, remove the lota, and remain to bend forward, center the head and let the water run out of the nose. Close the right nostril with the fingers and blow gently through the left nostril so that all the remaining water comes out. Practice in the same way passing the water through the right nostril. Throughout the whole practice keep breathing through the mouth and do not attempt to breathe through the nose. When blowing the nose, do not blow very hard, otherwise, any remaining water may be pushed into the ears. It is important to remove all the water after the practice so irritation of the sinuses and mucous membrane does not occur. Although you can practice neti in a squatting posture, it is best to stand. If you experience pain in the nose during the practice, the quantity of salt is incorrect. Too little salt will create pain and too much salt will cause a burning sensation. Instead of water, you can use warm milk to practice dugdha neti, or warm ghee to practice ghrita neti. (If oil is used instead of ghee, it must be unconcentrated and with no added chemicals.) These two practices are classified as variations of Jala neti. However, the most powerful form of Jala neti is with urine. Though it is not mentioned in the hatha yoga texts, it is particularly useful for curing inflammation of the nasal passage and sinuses and bleeding. Neti can be practiced every day if you are suffering from sinusitis, colds, insensitivity to smell, nosebleed, headache, eyestrain or eye infections, otherwise it is best to practice only once or twice a week. People suffering from a chronic hemorrhage should not attempt neti unless under expert guidance. It is advisable to practice bhastrika or kapalbhati pranayama after Jala neti. This will dry the nose and generate heat in the nostrils. #yoga #ayubazaar #sinusrelief #cleansing #yogi (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvN0x7TFtQe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1orya2a6zai3j
