The yoga of Bakasana
Bakasana is one type of yoga. Baka denotes the crane. The posture of this asana consists of placing your hand on the seat with your finger pointed in front of you.
Your knees must be kept above elbow level and your hips must be raised. Your body weight is being balanced on your hands. The head is lowered and the posture is held for a few seconds. By performing this form of yoga one can sustain balance and strengthen and improve muscle arms.
Kukkutasan and Uttanakurmasana
Kukkuta refer to the cock in Sanskrit. One begins by adopting the sitting posture of Padmasana, with your hands between the gap formed by your calf and thigh. Spreading your fingers, your hands are securely positioned and the body is lifted up and supported on the hands. This form of yoga also increases arm strength.
Uttanakurmasana
In Uttanakurmasana yoga the term Kurma refers to the tortoise. In this form of yoga the hands are passed down underneath the knees as they are in kukkutasana .
Then the hips are kept on the seat, while the knees are raised and the hands are raised up to encircle the neck. It is a pose that is somewhat difficult to practice.
Parvata , Dolasana and Utkatasana
Parvata refers to the mountain in Sanskrit. Here the individual is seated with his hips uplifted and balancing. The body weight is supported by the knees and the arms are stretched out above his head and touching one another. It is a harmonizing pose that improves joint flexibility, particularly in the knees.
Dolah refers to swing in Dolasana yoga. After adopting the Padmasana posture, keep your hands on the seat at both sides of your hips behind your knees. Lift your body up and use your hands to balance your entire body. This position helps exercise the arms, shoulders, and abdominal muscles.
The other important yoga form, called Utkatasana, is named after its basic posture. In the basic posture the hips are lifted up and the feet serve as the base, nearly nine inches apart or further, with the knees straight, and hips lifted off the floor and put on the heels, which are also lifted. This balances the body weight on the toes.
Yoga forms like Padangusthasana and Mayurasana are also important. Mayurasana reduces congestion, promotes blood circulation and builds muscle strength.
