Diabetes can be considered an epidemic with the rising number of people being diagnosed with it. It is no wonder our current methods are incapable of curing and so the scientific communities are looking for newer methods to treat the disease. But, through holistic exercise, one's blood sugar can be regulated. Yoga is one such ancient, way to do so.
ARDHA MATSYENDRASANA | Half Twist Pose
Ardha Matsyendrasana usually appears as a seated spinal twist with many variations and is one of the twelve basic asanas in many systems of Hatha Yoga. This is one of the few poses in the Basic Session that rotates the spine. Most bend the spinal column either backwards or forward, but to become truly flexible it must be twisted laterally as well.
How to:
Sit erect with legs stretched out. Fold one of your legs. Raise one of your hands (the hand on the side of the folded leg) and taking it from the inside, hold on to your ankle. Look over your shoulder and twist.
Now, place your foot on the outside of your other thigh. Raise your hand again and hold on to your ankle. Look over your shoulder and twist.
