Yoga for Back Pain (Part20) - Kavandhasana

Kavandhasana

This asana is easier version of the Ardha Chakrasana. People who find difficult to do the Arch (Ardha chakrasana) could do this.

Kavandha (n.)= headless torso.


Some call this Kandharasana = shoulder Asana. Apart from back pain, this Asana is good for Hypothyroidism too. Since it exerts pressure on the thyroid glands.

The shoulder Stand, Sarvangasana too does the same and of course does something more - which is: help the flow of blood to the neck and face region. But then people with back pain must not do a shoulder stand. I did, that for a long time :). And suffered because of this folly. :).
