Why Vajrasana?



vajrasana


Vajrasana is a very simple sitting posture and a novice can start its practice with this asana as it is comparatively easy to perform than other asanas and helps to strengthen the knee, ankles, hips, spine and digestive system. Further, it also helps to relax the body muscles.

What is Vajrasana?

The word Vajrasana consists of two Sanskrit words, Vajra and Asana. Vajra means Diamond-like or Thunderbolt and Asana mean “posture”. According to Hindu Mythology, Vajra is said to be the most powerful weapon of God “Indra” and it is made of bones. Like ways, regular practise of this posture, makes a Yogi very robust and steady, both physically and mentally. Therefore, this posture is called Vajrasana.

Further, there is another school of thought that this posture is called Vajrasana as helps to activate the Vajra Nadi in our body. Vajra Nadi is located within the spine. It begins from the Muladhara chakra (base chakra) and goes to mind. It regulates the energy in the body.
This posture is also called as Diamond pose, Adamant Pose, Thunderbolt pose, Pelvic pose and Keeling pose.

Functional Workout — Fitness and More

  Functional training exercises help you to perform activities in everyday life more easily. These exercises typically use the whole body — multiple muscles — and emphasize core strength and stability. By mirroring the movements of your daily life, like squatting, reaching, or even carrying a heavy object, building functional strength can help increase your quality of life and reduce your risk of injury. Bodybuilding-type strength training — which often just focuses on one muscle group — doesn’t provide as many benefits in the functional fitness realm. For example, a bicep curl targets just the bicep, but a bicep curl plus a reverse lunge combo integrates the whole body and tests your balance. Learn more about  functional training in Gurgaon .
