Procedure
- Lie flat on your stomach, legs together and palms touching the sides of your thighs with your chin on the floor, i.e. Simple Prone Posture.
- Gently, place your hands on the buttocks and interlock the fingers.
- In this position, make sure your chin rests on the floor.
- Inhale (Radhey), and taking the help of the abdominal muscles, raise your chest from the floor.
- Make sure your legs remain joined together throughout.
- Push your shoulders backward and raise your interlocked hands away from the buttocks, as high as possible;
- Wait for 15-20 seconds in this position, breathing normally.
- Now while exhaling (Krishna), lower your upper body and arms comfortably, and gradually come down to the floor.
- This is one round, do it for two more rounds.
- Finally, come into either Balasan or Matsya Kreedasan and relax.
- On breathing in and out along with the physical movements
- On the stretch of the shoulders and arms
- On spontaneously feeling the omnipresence of “Radhey Krishna” with your breaths
- Sarpasan not only strengthens the muscles of the spine, but it also makes the spine very flexible, helps cure slipped-disk, and cervical and back pain.
- As it massages the heart, the amount of oxygen in the blood streams gets increased by opening out the inactive alveoli.
- It also wonderfully massages the abdominal organs.
- It helps in asthmatic cases too.
- It strengthens the chest and shoulders.
- Those who have been suffering from heart ailments and high blood pressure should perform it only under the supervision of Yog therapists.
