Yoga for diabetics
February 2, 2009
Yoga can help diabetics also. Quite a few yoga postures can help to control and cure diabetes. Some of them are listed below.
Dhanurasana (Bow pose)
Lie down on your stomach, legs together, hands at the sides and chin resting on the ground. Bending your knees, bring your legs on the thighs. Keep your knees together. With your hand towards your back, hold your toes of the right and left leg from the thumb and forefinger of the right and left hand respectively.
Lift your legs along with your head and chest. Try to pull the toes towards the ear and keep your eyes in the front. Return gradually to your original position.
Paschimottanasana (Sitting crane)
Sit with stretched legs and breathe out. Try to touch your feet without bending your knees. However, if you feel a constraint when you bend, straighten up and try it again. However, do not try to force it. Go only as far as you can. Hold the pose and exhale while returning to original position.
Padangusthasana
Stand with hands on hips, feet together. Exhale and bend from the hips and not the waist. When you go down, bring the front torso out of the groins.
Keep your knees straight and bend forward to wrap the middle and index finger around your big toe so that you join the thumb. Now inhale and unbend your arms as you raise your front upper body away from the thighs. Your back should be as concave as possible. Hold it for a few breaths and exhale. Use your biceps to go more into the pose. Keep some space between your shoulders and ears. Pressing the heels firmly into the floor, lift the sitting bones toward the ceiling.
To come out, release the fingers and inhale while you bring the hands to the hips. Then come up keeping your back flat.
Yoga Mudrasana (Psychic Union pose)
Assume the classic padmasana, you can also take the simple cross-legged pose. While you inhale, reach hands behind and grasp your fingers.
As you exhale, lower your head to the floor, your forehead should touch the ground. If it is difficult, then use a bolster so that you can keep your forehead on it. At the same time, increase the pressure by raising your hands. Relax and breathe normally.
Hold it for as long as possible. Avoid this pose if you have an acute ulcer or lower backache.
