Benefits of Makrasana(Crocodile Pose)

Makarasana (crocodile pose):

Makarasana Is one of the relaxation asanas. It is also called crocodile pose. ‘Makara’ means ‘crocodile’. While doing this asana body looks like the shape of the crocodile. So that it is known as Crocodile pose.

Techniques:

1.    Lie flat on your stomach.

2.   Raise the head and shoulders and rest the chin in the palms of the hands with the elbows on the floor.

3.    Keep the elbows together for a more pronounced arch to the spine. Separate the elbows slightly to relieve excess pressure on the neck.

4.    In Makarasana there is an effect at two points: the neck and the lower back. If the elbows are too far in front then tensions will be felt in the neck; if they are drawn too close to the chest, tension will be felt more in the lower back. Adjust the position of the elbows so that these two points are equally balanced. The ideal position is when the whole spine is equally relaxed.

5.    Relax the whole body and close the eyes.

6.  After some time, again become aware of the body and surroundings and gently and smoothly release the posture.

Breathing:

In Makarasana breathing should be natural and rhythmic. Bring your whole of the awareness on breathing and while inhaling, moving the awareness up along with the spine from the tail bone to the neck and with exhalation bring your awareness down from the neck to the tail bone. Feel the breath moving up and down in the spine which will help to activate the healing energies in this area of the body.

If anyone has a lower back pain due to tension then concentrate on this area and feel it is relaxing with every inhalation and exhalation.

Stay in this asana for as long as you feel comfortable.
