Sarvangpushti Asana strengthens the body and removes fatigue, many benefits with 10 minutes of practice
New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): Modern lifestyle patterns have become so irregular that both body and mind easily fall prey to health issues. Experts recommend practicing yoga for at least 10 to 15 minutes daily, as it helps manage several physical and mental problems effectively.
The Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga highlights Sarvangpushti Asana as a simple yet highly effective posture. This asana is considered beneficial for strengthening and nourishing the entire body. It activates different body parts, improves blood circulation, enhances muscle strength and supports overall health.
In today’s fast-paced life, prolonged sitting, stress and irregular routines have made problems such as physical weakness, back pain, obesity and spinal issues common. Sarvangpushti Asana can be helpful in addressing these concerns. It not only boosts physical strength but also increases mental energy, making it easier to cope with daily challenges.
Regular practice strengthens the spine, providing relief from lower back and back pain. It tones the muscles of the entire body, especially helping reduce fat around the waist, abdomen and legs. Improved blood circulation enhances the supply of oxygen and nutrients, which may promote better skin health and stronger immunity.
Consistent practice may also help manage obesity, constipation and general physical weakness. It can be useful for children’s height growth and for supporting physical development in youth. Additionally, it reduces joint stiffness, improves flexibility and lowers fatigue and stress while maintaining energy levels.
Although Sarvangpushti Asana appears simple, it should be performed correctly and preferably under the guidance of a trained yoga expert. Individuals with neck, back or shoulder injuries, high blood pressure, severe headaches, serious heart conditions or recent surgeries should avoid this posture. Pregnant women and women during menstruation should also refrain from practicing it. Beginners should not hold the pose for too long and must focus on proper breathing. If dizziness or discomfort occurs, the practice should be stopped immediately. It is best performed on an empty stomach or after light exercise.
