SHADANGASANA

The name of this pose(i never saw it in any yoga books and am adding the pose to yoga somewhat anew out of my OWN yoga experience)suggests using 6 directions of leaving your comfortable state into the ''outdoors''(anga in sanskrit)let us say for health benefits of sorts. HOW TO DO Lay down into Shavasana the corpse pose;now 1)pick up the head so that it was above the ground level and balancing without efforts.As tired of this,get the head down upon the ground and relax a bit.Now 2)pick up your left hand and point it upwards;when tired/feeling uncomfortable with this,get it down upon the ground into Shavasana the basic pose of THIS 1 as well.As feeling well(this might take some while and you must be ready to note the exact time)again,3)pick up your left leg and point it all the way upwards.Then touch your genitals with 1 of your hands next,in the 4).The next time do use your other hand for this(as the complete 6 ends(''shadanga'')cycle IS finished finally).As 5) pick up your right leg all the way it can reach.As 6) do have your right hand pointing all the way it can upwards.After the 6 subexercises(6=anga in sanskrit the original yoga language)are finished,do another cycle and so on till tired of this large pose at last.In this cycle the body parts you act upon make a circle around your body beginning with your head,then moving clockwards and returning to it at the end of such a circle.Each of the 6 subexercises tends to somewhat replace the blood pressure volume throughout the entire blood volume your body holds inside;this us,according to physiology,around 6 litres of blood,and by moving the body parts you replace blood pressure in a body part with a new 1 as the part gets up and so next blood pressure in it is already higher;these innocent enough games with blood pressure still can account to much better blood pressure people would be aquiring with time.As i personally do each of the 6 partial sub-exercises,they each end with heavy breathing by their end;however,most people will not develop heavy breathing.No heavy breathing(some are sensitive enough to notice such changes even as they DO exist for every human being nevertheless)does not mean that your body gets no effect from the pose whatsoever;it does exist and it is practise that appropriate muscles of your body do get in the process;the practise of certain muscles in this case.Even so,the reason i get it will do similar profits for everyone,and this is:1)exercises your blood pressure gets and so profilactics to heart conditions and 2)stretching with final strenghtening of the muscles of each of the currently used body parts for exercising the entire muscular system of your body into its gradual,even as very slow a developement.This exercise slowly yet for certain exercises your different muscular system's pieces into a better final condition;blood pessure conditions prevented along the way.Muscles though,as stretched outwards,then also tend to massage those body parts that come close to them and in this way additionally improve your general physical condition,1 thing i find yoga as a subject even fails to achieve.Yoga as a physical discipline mounts its pressure mostly upon the great final condition of its user,condition of mostly the brain itself,and the brain uses great condition of its lower body subjects for its OWN ends of better feeling;even failing to add to those lower body pieces' condition themselves,1 thing i personally find amiss in yoga texts.When in the poses i personally added to yoga(several headstand variations,this Shadangasana and also Catangasana as well)the brain leaves the centre,where the brain resides with a pleasurable condition well present for additional works on its outside terrains for better final results this entire system of bodily parts he then enjoys.
