KARNA PEEDASANA :-



KARNA PEEDASANA :-
Karna means the ear. Pida means pain, discomfort or pressure.This is a variant of Halasana and can be done along with it.Effects :- In this asana, the spine moves laterally and becomes more elastic.The colon, which is inverted during the movements ,is exercised properly and elimination will be complete.People suffering from acute or chronic constipation which is the mother of several diseases derive great benefit from this asana. If rubbish is dumped outside our house we feel sick. How much more so when waste matter which creates toxins is allowed to accumulate in our own system? if this waste matter is not eliminated,diseases will enter the body like thieves and rob us of health. If the bowels do not move freely, the mind becomes dull and one feels heavy and irritable.This asana helps us to keep the bowels free and thereby win the prize of lhealth.
