NATAVARASANA

Natavarasana (Lord Krishna’s pose)

Stand with the feet together and focus on a fixed point. Bring the right leg a little forward and place the right foot to the outside of the left calf with the toes above the floor and the sole of the foot almost vertical.

Rest the side of the right calf against the left shin.

Raise both hands to the right as if playing a flute. The right palm should face forward and the left palm backward. The index and little fingers of the hands are straight and the middle fingers are curled into the base of the thumb.

Turn the head slightly to the left and focus the eyes at a fixed point.

Hold the final position for as long as is comfortable.

To release, bring the head to the centre, lower the arms to the sides and the raised foot to the floor.

Repeat the stance on the other side.

Breathing : Breathe normally throughout the practice.

Duration : Practise up to 3 rounds on each leg, holding the final position for up to 2 minutes.

Awareness : Physical – on maintaining balance while focusing on a fixed point.

Spiritual – on ajna chakra.

Sequence : This asana may be practised as a preparatory pose for meditation.

Benefits : Natavarasana helps develop nervous balance and concentration.
