Yoga VB26 _ Plow Pose _ Halâsana

Like the naming method of many other yoga poses, the Halasana Plow Pose is so named because the basic shape of the pose resembles a typical plow used in Tibet and India, as well as in many other Asian countries. The plow is also a mythological symbol in many stories of Tibet, China, India and Egypt.

The Halâsana should be done at times when the abdomen is empty, for example early in the morning or late at night after at least 2 hours after the main meal.

The Halâsana can have many physical and mental benefits.

The plow pose can help the body stretch and strengthen the elasticity of the spine, strengthening the strength of the back and shoulders as well as the arms.
The plow pose also improves the strength and flexibility of the spine, thereby increasing the “lubrication” of the nerve endings of the spinal cord, thereby enhancing the capacity of the nervous system. At the same time, thanks to the improved nervous system and good nerve communication, the brain is constantly calmed, stress and fatigue are quickly eliminated.
In addition, systems such as the respiratory, circulatory and immune systems are also strengthened.
Abdominal and thyroid organs are especially stimulated. Bowel function is greatly improved.
Many diseases can also be easily eliminated or improved with good plow pose exercises, such as uncomfortable menopausal symptoms in women, infertility problems in men and women, many back pain, headache due cerebral ischemia, anxiety, insomnia, sinusitis, etc.
