Inhale and stretch the hands and legs in opposite directions. Feel the stretch in your entire body. Hold the posture as long as you can. Your body should be stable. Return to original position while exhaling. Repeat this asana four times.

Benefits: It strengthens all the nerves, veins and muscles of hands, back and legs. It lessens backache and sciatica pain.

Place the centre of your head on the ground, arching your chest. Raise the back and chest while the knees continue to touch the floor. Now hold the toes of both feet with the corresponding hand and rest elbows on the ground, as in picture. Take a deep breath and hold the asana as long as you can, then return to original position. Let go the padmasana and relax in shavasana.

Benefits: This asana also makes the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands healthy.
