Yoga Exercise - Wind Relieving Pose (Vatayanasana)
 |
STEP 1: Lie on the Yoga Mat. |
 |
STEP 2: Raise your left knee.
|
 |
STEP 3: Wrap your hands around your left knee.
|
 |
STEP 4: Raise your head towards your knee. Breathe, release. Repeat with the right leg. You can also do the rocking motion slowly with rhythm.
|
Remember that while practicing the Wind Relieving Pose, resist the tendency to raise the lower back or buttocks off the ground and try to keep the leg that is on the mat as straight as possible. Aside from releasing unwanted gases from the intestines and stomach, the exercise will also massage the abdominal organs and the rocking motion will get rid of the stiffness in your spine.

It is very important to perform Pavanamuktasana - Wind Relieving Pose starting with the right leg -not starting with the left leg.

Hi Sohnia,
Why must one start with the right leg? Please explain - thx
Tuesday 25th March 2008 at 8:08:00 AM
Hi! Steve G,It is real important to start with right leg because the right leg presses the ascending colon directly.The posture will follow with the left leg because the left leg presses the descending colon directly.So, never do the wind relieving pose starting with the left first .... ascending colon should be pressed firstthen move to descending colon pressing posture..... Peace be with you.

I had heap joint mussels pain. Physiotherapist asked me to do heap exercise and found that my colon problem of bloating is improved within 3 days. For colon problem I use to take cleansing medicines earlier. So I started the animation exercise daily to improve colon function.
