Benefits:- This posture can be practiced by people of all ages. It combines Asana with Pranayama. Even the diseased and the weak can practice it easily. It is because of faults that we allow the diseases to attack us and fall prey to them. Lungs become weak and we are not able to exhale fully the carbon dioxide accumulated there. The result is that we contract diseases like hysteria, feeling of giddiness, high blood—pressure, heart disease, TB, etc. Even the people suffering from these diseases can practice this posture in a light manner, morning and evening, on empty stomach and derive immense benefit.
