MATSYASANA



Sit in Padmasanam  pose.

Gradually lean back on the elbow first and finals lie flat on the ground.

Raise the trunk and back, bending the head backwards as far as possible, throwing the body weight on the elbows.

Form a deep arch with the top of the head and haunches forming the base of the arch.
Hook the big toes with index fingers.

Breathe deeply but slowly.

Hold the breath for sometimes and exhale gradually.

Merits:

Matsyasana tones up the thyroid and parathyroid.
It removes congestion in the neck and the throat.
It gets rid of the double chin.

It strengthens the neck and lends a fine backward bend to the cervical region of the spine.
