Supta Paschimottanasana (Lying Down Westward Yoga Pose)



Procedure for Supta Paschimottanasana (Lying Down Westward Yoga Pose):
  • While lying flat on the back take the knees to the chest.
  • Straighten them up and back holding behind the knees if you are not very flexible.
  • Roll slightly back so that the upper part of the shoulder blades touches the mat. Feel free to rock a little as long as it feels safe.
  • Push through the heels, toes and ballpoints of the toes.
  • Stretching through the heels will result in a much deeper stretch along the legs and back but extending through the toes stretches tibia muscles and the ankles. The legs also come down a little more creating more of an angle at the hips.

  1. Calories give rise to energy but excessive quantity of calories turns up into fats.

    Also you can be feeling very hungry and consume a lot the very
    next time you obtain your hands on some food.

    The results were dried out skin and mental fuzziness and of course cravings for fatty foods.
