Curative Yoga
Vrikshasana (Ardha Chandrasana)
 Explanation:
'Vriksha' means tree in sanskrit. In this asana, the body
stays upright like a tree. This is also called Ardha
(half) Chandrasana.
Description:
Stand straight and keep both the legs together. With the
right hand lift the right foot and keep the right heel
pressed against the right hip so that the toes point
downwards. Balance the body in this position. Then bring
both the palms together in the middle of the chest in 'Namaskar'
(greeting) pose and breathe normally. Stay in this
position as long as you can and reverse all the steps to
the standing position and repeat the same procedure on the
other side. Do it five times on both the sides.
Benefits:
If done regularly, the stiffness of the joints in the
feet, ankles and knees is relieved with reduction of
arthritic pain. The muscles of the legs are also
strengthened.
