Butterfly/Bound angle pose

Steps to be followed :-


  1.          Sit with your legs straight out in front of you, raising your pelvis on a blanket if your hips or groins are tight. Exhale, bend your knees, pull your heels toward your pelvis, then drop your knees out to the sides and press the soles of your feet together.

    2.   Bring your heels as close to your pelvis as you comfortably can. With the first and second finger and thumb, grasp the big toe of each foot. Always keep the outer edges of the feet firmly on the floor. If it isn't possible to hold the toes, clasp each hand around the same-side ankle or shin.

    3.   Sit so that the pubis in front and the tailbone in back are equidistant from the floor. The perineum then will be approximately parallel to the floor and the pelvis in a neutral position. Firm the sacrum and shoulder blades against the back and lengthen the front torso through the top of the sternum.

    4.    Never force your knees down. Instead release the heads of the thigh bones toward the floor. When this action leads, the knees follow.

    5.    Stay in this pose anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes. Then inhale, lift your knees away from the floor, and extend the legs back to their original position.

Los practicantes de yoga mejoran la concentración, coordinación, tiempo de reacción, memoria, el aprendizaje y muestran una mayor habilidad para resolver problemas según un estudio de Neha Gothe, profesora de la Universidad Estatal Wayne en Detroit. Según su investigación, publicada en The Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 20 minutos de yoga al día son más beneficiosos a nivel cognitivo que una sesión de actividad física intensa.

The serotonin (5-HT) is a neurotransmitter that is derived from an amino acid called tryptophan . Send messages within the brain and through the nervous system, and participate in many processes such as regulating mood or appetite. In addition, one of its main tasks is to increase the production of melatonin , a hormone that regulates sleep cycles .

To achieve a peaceful rest, serotonin also intervenes in the control of stress and body temperature . “The practice of yoga increases serotonin levels so it helps you sleep better,” explains Dr. Murali Doraiswam, author of a Duke University study that included the review of more than 100 research papers on yoga
