Technique : Lie on your back. Breath in and take your ankles closer to your buttocks. Both the palms on the floor near the ear and fingers facing towards the shoulder. Breath in and gradually raise your whole body upwards without moving your palms and feet off the floor. Neck should be kept lose hanging downwards and the whole body will look like a wheel. Hold this position for a few seconds then gradually lower down your body back to the starting position.
Benefits : Fingers, Palms, Elbows, Arms, etc become strong. Weight bearing capacity of limbs improves. Reduces the risk of tremors in fingers in old age. Practicing this Asana gives relief for low back pain, neck pain and upper back pain ( to be done post the advice of a physiotherapist only if it is practiced for pain relief). Stretches the whole body muscles, spinal cord, ligaments, lungs and other internal organs thus inducing relaxation in them and increasing the flexibility, agility and durability.
Precautions : While returning back to the starting position, the movement has to be very slow and rhythmical, if the doer is not careful while lowering down there can be chances of locking in the spinal joints leading to muscular strain in the surrounding area. Hence this asana has to be done cautiously.
