Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a video clip on Shashankasana, also known as the hare posture, emphasizing its benefits for relieving constipation and improving the digestive process. This asana is known to stimulate the abdominal organs, enhancing overall digestive health and providing relief from constipation.
Provides Relief from Back Pain
In addition to its digestive benefits, Shashankasana is effective in alleviating back pain. The posture involves a gentle forward bend that stretches the spine and relieves tension in the back muscles, making it a valuable practice for those suffering from chronic back pain.
Precautions for High Blood Pressure Patients
While Shashankasana is beneficial for many, patients with high blood pressure are advised to take precautions when performing this asana. It is important to practice under the guidance of a qualified yoga instructor to ensure safety and avoid any adverse effects.
Steps to Perform Shashankasana
The video shared by the Prime Minister, in the lead-up to the 10th edition of International Yoga Day, provides detailed instructions on performing Shashankasana. The steps are explained in both English and Hindi, making them accessible to a wider audience. Modi posted on X, “Here is why you must practice Shashankasana regularly…” encouraging people to incorporate this beneficial asana into their daily yoga practice.
