HALASANA the plough pose

The position your body is in during this pose reminds anscient times' plough,with which old times' people were once working over their soil;the head here as the plough piece that oopened the soil itself(a very interesting phylosofy to such things does yoga show us),and the legs the part,which was pulled by live horses to make the soil open. HOW TO DO Lay down face up;now raise your legs upwards and move them over your head so that they touched the ground behind and over the head itself;this pose is called Halasana the plough pose.The pose hurries the blood towards your brain and takes it away from your legs.If only a beginner(the body compensates this effect with time flowing very nicely as in case of every other pose too),you will find your legs deprived of blood and your head overflowing with it instead.Halasana is 1 of the more influential block of topsy-turvy poses(with your heads downwards and the legs pointing upwards),which influence the body for the most part as the gravitational power of the Earth pushes the bulk of your blood(medicine says the blood is somewhat like 7 litres of this extremely weighty and important for a human organism liquid,which is VERY influential for a human organism even as we never see it)from your legs etc towards your head then.I tend to leave this pose(as most any other 1 too by the way)right after i reach the point of heavy breathing,which though is most times easily achieved;and for a seasoned yoga practitioner it comes as he moves the legs around the floor left and then right pretty quickly. DWANDWA HALASANA This pose is never shown in yoga books but is possiblee for detection.While inside of Halasana and NOT developing heavy breathing(only beginners in yoga will get it right away)you should also try to move your legs to the left and after that to the middle and next to the right over the floor of the room,never taking the toes from the floor itself,but also only till heavy breathing is achieved;and the more do you move your legs from the normal straight over the head position the easier will you be achieving this heavy breathing condition as then your body gets stretched sideways considerably,causing the heavy breathing effect.I make such movements to the left and to the right several times during each of my Halasana pose attempts,accounting 1 exercise with every new heavy breathing achieved,but this perfected way of performing Halasana will come to you only after considerable time of this Halasana pose use. HASTA HALASANA Performed as with your legs above your head while you move them into Halasana,but before you reach Halasana itself(and thats when your toes DO touch the floor behind your head)you instead get to support your legs(in the spot,right above each knee as not to pressure the knees' muscles,which are very vivid and sensitive/must never undergo any considerable pressure to them/must never be pressed upon)with your hands(hand=hasta in sanskrit),and preferrably not by the palms themselves,but by their edges only,the edges between the forefinger and the index 1 as this form is simply more productive,allowing less blood flow into the palms and instead concentrating upon the general blood transformations throughout your body;and this exactly why i personally find Hasta Halasana a very useful pose even as other authors never mention it in their yoga books,and i had seen several myself.This pose,even as never mentioned in any of yoga books,is very good for developing good balancing of the body and you will see that it isnt an easy task to hold the entire body weight upon your 2 palms in this pose.This is just 1 more reason yoga books authors never mention this Halasana pose variation-this pose is for nice yoga specialists,the condition,not too easily reached by people.I find that each palm must hold on to the knee area in the vertical position and only by its portion that is situated closer to the thumb and never horizontally and/or never by the entire palm,but instead by the border of each palm,facing the thumb,as in this horizontal way your hands will achieve additional pressurizing,which isnt recommended here.Like this the real achiever of gains this pose gives you will always be your wrists.Indeed though even larger gains getting here,your blood pressure is specifically worked over in it-its simply not easy to hold on to the pose;unlike in Paripurna Halasana,where blood isnt under THIS pressure,blood here is much heavier "working out" let us say.Instead pressure be better put upon other body parts.Hasta Halasana pose is mostly working to develop your entire body balancing correctly and never involves too much power expenditure the way Paripurna Halasana does.And what i personally add with poses like this to yoga is so much more acrobatics than the overly stable traditionally seen in yoga books poses offer;and thats because i suppose these need additions to boost other health areas this body possesses.It well works over air balancing management and most of what it tires quickly is your wrists and their strenght accordingly rises considerably with time flowing,which is 1 of interesting physical body developements Hasta Halasana will bring you and also 1 that other yoga poses mostly arent capable of offering their practitioner.While standing in this Hasta Halasana pose stably 1 might find recommendable to do its sidekick pose/smaller partner pose Dwandwa Hasta Halasana,where instead of holding both the legs straight and close to each other you slowly move the 2 legs apart and towards your sides for AS long as you can,definitely returning to Paripurna Hasta Halasana AS soon as you start developing heavy breathing though;i personally find it pretty soon.It stretches body sides,then tends to gradually elongate the tendons that hold the entire body together in 1 single piece,and so is a valuable addition to Paripurna Hasta Halasana(Paripurna term meaning that the discussed pose is in its most straightforward/perfectly correct and least doubtful variation,seen in any yoga related book)pose.Paripurna ANY pose can be in doubt as of its correctness but the Paripurna version never can,and instead Paripurna version is ever classical EACH good yogi will admit IS correct.The prowess of your wrists(it is following suit your Hasta Halasana practise after a while indeed)is never the goal of any yoga poses,at least in the classical yoga books,which all say that it is internal organs' condition what they seek.I would call this Hasta Halasana pose 1 of the most important yoga poses for a beginner in the art of yoga.It is not AS heavy as to threaten any important body parts,yet it practises most of your physical body parts to the utmost as you are JUST into yoga and so 1 will find it 1 of best yoga poses as he just starts practising yoga.There is another exercise i always add to my Halasana practising right after it;it is when(normally during Halasana your palms are laying upon the floor just above your head,but never touching it anyway,just being AS close to it as possible)i take the legs' toes by my palms,extending the hands from around my head to reach them,and activize the entire body muscles system,trying to overextend the legs further with pulling the arms all along with them.Each of such smaller poses that surround the large 1 and add to it 1 thing/effect or another,are done after the large and sanskrit termed Paripurna pose is finished(it goes as the first of the block of the ''same minded poses'' for the greatly incresed general effect 1 pose makes upon me.
