Ardha = half
Chakra = wheel, or the disc used as weapon by Krishna, the character in Mahabharata the epic of India
Self-critique: I am no good at all in this asana. Culprit is my poorly joined left arm after a near fatal accident quite a long time ago. As also some kind of nodular problem in the tendon sheath of the right wrist - which makes it very difficult and painful to support my body weight on the right wrist. Hence the arms are never straight as they should be. Hopefully Yoga will help me get over these problems in time to come.
Comments: This concludes the back pain series in Asana. Exclusions are the pranayama part. I did not intend to cover them in this series though they are as effective, if not more, in relieving back pain.

Mr Mandal,
I have seen your poses with great interest. Your body is flexible like a cat. have you been doing this for a long time?

Julia, Please call me Durga.
:). Well thank you for the kind words. Well, no, I have been doing Yoga for the last one and half years. Though I learnt Yoga in school.
Neglected it for long in pursuit of other forms of exercises - the vigorous ones. Thought, wrongly, Yoga was a little soft for my taste :).
Yoga is easy if you challenge your body and mind. :). Or anything for that matter.
