How to do Pindasana (Embryo Pose)
Pindasana, also known as the Embryo Pose, is a traditional Hatha Yoga posture where the body folds into a compact shape, resembling an embryo. This pose improves spinal alignment, enhances digestion, and activates the abdominal muscles to help reduce belly and waist fat. It also increases flexibility while strengthening the shoulders, arms, and core.
Step-by-Step Practice Guide to Perform Pindasana
- Lie down on your back in Shavasana.
- Inhale and slowly lift your legs straight up above the waist.
- Bend your knees and cross your legs in the air to form a compact posture.
- Gently bring the folded legs toward your face and neck.
- Lift your waist and back upward until your weight rests on the shoulders.
- Keep the spine curved upward and hold the upper body below the knees using your hands.
- Place the toes under the lower abdomen and keep the face positioned between the knees.
- Breathe slowly and maintain the pose.
- Exhale, release the hands and legs, lower the waist, and relax again in Shavasana.
- Repeat 3 to 4 times, by gradually increasing the holding time.
