PASHCHIMOTTANASANA
This asana is also known as ‘Ugrasana’. ‘Ugra’ means ‘Shiva’. Lord Shiva is believed 
to be the god of annihilation. So he is called ‘Ugra’ or ‘the terrible’. As this asana is very 
difficult to practice, it is known as ‘Ugrasana’.

Technique: Sit on the floor with the legs stretched straight front. Bend the trunk forward and 
hold the feet with the thumbs and the first and the middle fingers. Exhale, and bend the trunk 
lower so that the head rests on the knees.  Draw the abdomen in while bending lower. This 
will make the bending of the trunk easy. While bending bring the head between the arms. The 
aspirants having flexible spine can touch the knees with the head at the first attempt. Fat 
persons will find some difficulty in practicing this asana. Persons having a weak spine will take 
a fortnight or a month to accomplish perfection in this asana. Remain in this asana for five 
seconds. Begin with thirty seconds and gradually increase it to ten minutes.

Advantages:

force flows through the Sushumna nadi and it kindles gastric fire.

liver and other abdominal organs.

spine.
