Chatush Padasaana strengthens the back muscles and improves flexibility of the spine. This tones the nervous system and reduces fatigue. The organs in the pelvis are rejuvenated. Backbends lift the mood and help one develop confidence.
Place a strap around the fronts of the ankles if you are unable to reach the your ankles with the hands.
Place a block under the sacrum lengthwise for support under the pelvis.
Place the feet on a chair or stool to help lift the pelvis.
