Kandharasana (Shoulder pose, also called pelvic tilts)

July 20, 2007
Lie on your back. Place palms flat on the ground, beside hips. Bring the feet closer to the hips. Inhale, raising hips. Exhaling, lower the hips back to ground. This is one round. Do 10 rounds.

Points to note: Those using this pose as prevention or to tone the body may hold the final pose longer, continuing to breathe normally. You may also increase the number of rounds to 30.

Benefits: It is the most powerful healing pose for those with lower backache. However, they may raise hips only slightly. It works out the entire spine, powers the neck and builds stamina. Trims hips superbly. Boosts metabolism, promotes weight loss, improves nutrient absorption. This in turn affects healing positively. Boosts immunity.
