suptvajrasana (Reclined Thunderbolt Pose)

Health Benefits of Supta Vajrasana

It massages the abdominal organs alleviating digestive ailments and constipation.

It tones the spinal nerves, makes the back flexible and realigns rounded shoulders. The nerves in the neck, the thyroid and parathyroid glands are particularly stimulated.

The rib-cage is stretched and expanded fully, which helps to fill the lungs to its maximum capacity and bringing more oxygen into the system.

It is beneficial for those suffering from asthma, bronchitis and other lung ailments.

It loosens up the legs and strengthens them in preparation for sitting in meditation asanas.

It enhances creativity and intelligence as it increases the circulation in the brain.

This asana stretches the back muscles and separates the individual vertebrae from each other, releasing pressure on the discs.

Often nerve connections emanating from the spinal cord are squeezed by these discs, giving rise to various forms of backache. This posture helps to relieve this problem and encourages the discs to resume their correct position.

It regulates the functioning of the adrenal glands.

It tones the pelvic muscles and the sciatic nerves and is beneficial for women who have an underdeveloped pelvis.

It helps to alleviate disorders of both the male and female reproductive organs.

Regular practice relieves constipation.

Precautions: Should not practice in case of very high blood pressure, slipped disc or those who suffer from vertigo.
