Supta Vajrasana - The Diamond Pose, in recline

Supta Vajrasana or the reclined diamond pose, is a good exercise for the health of women who suffer stomach pain during menstruation. Blood circulation to the internal organs like kidney, liver and pancreas is properly maintained. 

How to do Supta Vajrasana? 

• Start in the Vajrasana posture.
• Bend your torso backwards from the waist.
• Using the support of your arms, bend till you can place your head on the ground.
• Bring your palms together if you wish to rest your head on them.
• Ensure that only the upper part of your spine can touch the floor.
• Close your eyes and breathe evenly.
• At the outset, maintain the posture for 30 seconds.
• As you continue to practise, increase the duration to 3 minutes.
