- Parvata means a mountain. This asana is also known as 'Viyogasana', because it involves a special technique of Yoga. Only healthy persons should practice this asana.
Technique:
- Sit in Padmasana. Join the palms of the hands.
- Stretch the arms vertically up over the head.
- Take the hands over the head and turn the palms downside up facing the roof.
- Stretch the Body upwards with the arms stretched towards sky.
- Stabilize the position and continue normal breathing.
- As both the arms are kept vertically up in this asana, the 'Prana' is sublimated.
- If Suryabheda Pranayama or Anuloma-Viloma Pranayama is practiced for fifteen minutes before performing this (Parvatasana) asana, the lungs, the abdomen and the spine become strong and healthy.
- Gives sufficient exercise to the muscles of the arms.
- Stretching the arm, back and abdominal muscles improves the functioning of these parts of body. This helps to cure some problems of Spinal cord.
