Views

It is highly recommended to perform some yoga asanas in our daily life that are very much needed for everyone, irrespective of his/her age.
Some of the asanas which are very powerful and yield highly positive results are: Vajrasana, Bhujangasana, Makarasana, Paschimotthasana and Padmasana. These are very beneficial asanas and anyone can perform them easily without much difficulty. You can refer to some websites or books on how to perform these asanas.

But some important facts you need to consider before doing asanas:
1. Dont do any asana when you are hungry
2. Dont do any asana vigorously. You need to go slowly until you gain enough proficiency
3. Dont do any asanas after taking food for atleast 2.5 hours. Its better to perform asanas when you are half-hungry. Morning time is the best time or the time after you finish your latrine and bath.
4. It will give good results if you drink a glass of water before you start asanas
5. Dont spend too much time for each asana. Only 1 or 2 minutes are required. But you can stay in Vajrasana, Padmasana and Makarasana for upto 5 minutes. It is good to repeat each asana twice or thrice with a gap of 30 seconds.
6. It is very advisable to perform meditation in Padmasana. It yields concentration and memory power.
7. Paschimotthasana is a bit difficult of these 5 asanas, especially for the people who have fat bodies and heavy stomach. But it is an asana which comes to perfection by practice. If you cant bend completely, it is recommended to bend as much as you can with out any pain and stay for atleast 10 seconds in that position (no pain). It has extra-ordinary advantages like making your body slim (especially waist portion), improving resistance and making your brain cool.
8. Practice regularly these asanas for a sound health, physically and mentally.
