MyBindi Yoga Move #168

...please...try this at home.

Posture 1
Talasana

Have you heard that we are taller in the morning and become shorter as the day progresses? It is so because of the decrease in space between the vertebrae of the spine. Therefore, if we were to stretch the spine upward vertically, it is possible to add to our height. For good health it is also necessary that the interspaces between the vertebrae are kept normal.

Raise both the arms forward and upward from the starting position simultaneously raising yourself on the toes and shown in Fig. 1. When you have brought both your arms close to the ear, remain there for two or three seconds, Fig. 2. Finally, rotate your arms by a backward circuit till the hands return to the starting position. The hand must go as far as possible towards the back, Fig. 3, when they are about to return to normal. Avoid strain in the back, and see that the raised heels slowly touch the floor.
