With increasing age, physical changes like stiffness in joints, back pain, fatigue, stress and digestive issues start occurring in the body. Gradually the body starts weakening and the risk of diseases increases, but regular yoga practice can control these changes to a great extent and maintain better health.
One such effective yoga asana is Setubandhasana, which is also called bridge pose in English. This asana makes the body like a bridge, and it is especially beneficial for elderly people. However, along with this people should also take regular diet.
The Ministry of AYUSH has highlighted its importance. According to him, this asana is an excellent yoga asana to strengthen the back, hips and shoulders, balance the thyroid and reduce stress. By doing this the spine becomes flexible and the digestive system improves.
It is very easy to do this. First of all, lie down on your back on the yoga mat. Bend both the knees and keep the feet on the ground, keeping a distance between them equal to the hips. Keep the hands straight next to the body with the palms facing the ground. Taking a deep breath, slowly lift your waist, buttocks and back. Keep in mind that the neck and head remain on the ground. Keep the thighs and legs parallel to each other. Wait in this position for 20-30 seconds.
Now slowly exhale and come back to normal position. Repeat this 3-5 times. Initially 10-15 seconds of practice is enough.
By doing this the body will gradually get relief. However, beginners may face some difficulty in doing this, but by doing it daily the body will start opening up.
It is helpful in reducing stress, anxiety and mild depression. Besides, it improves digestion by activating the stomach organs and increases lung capacity by opening the chest. Apart from this, it is also effective in reducing problems to menstruation and menopause.
