MODEL: YUKTHA RAJGOPAL
The pelvis houses the main organs of the reproductive system, while the abdomen has the main organs of the digestive system. Both need a good stretch to prevent stagnation and improve the blood flow. This posture imparts good flexibility to the spine.
METHOD
• Take a stability ball of approximately 30cm diameter
• Take a cotton bolster
• Sit upright, cross-legged, at the edge of the bolster
• Keep the ball behind the back, on the bolster
• Keep the feet by the side of the bolster and hold the ball in position
• Slowly recline on the ball, resting the upper back
• Raise the hips, and extend the neck as much you can
• Roll the ball slightly and move the head towards the floor
• Your folded arms and the head should be on the floor
• If the head is not on the floor, keep a folded blanket below the head
• The ball imparts a good stretch to pelvis, abdomen and chest
• Stay for around four minutes with slow abdominal breathing
• Take your arms up, roll over the ball to rest the hip on the bolster
• Slowly get up and relax
