Introduction
This asana is one of the easiest yoga asanas. It helps to stretch all your muscles from head to toe.
You must make sure to keep your stomach and
intestines empty before practicing this asana. Have your meals at least
four to six hours before doing the asana so that your food is digested and you
have enough energy to spend during the practice.
It is best to practice yoga first thing in the morning. But if you
can't work out in the morning, it's okay to practice it in the evening.
This asana strikes the perfect balance between bending forward and backward, and uses the pull and push of gravity. This process helps to relieve pain and reduce the tension trapped in the body.
