How to do chakki chalanasana
- To start this asana, sit down on a yoga mat and bring your leg straight in front of your body;
- Now lock the fingers of both your hands, and bring your hands out straight before your chest;
- Next, hold your arms straight and horizontal throughout the practice; check that your elbows aren’t bending;
- Bend forward while not straining. Assume that you simply are churning a mill with a stone grinder;
- Pivot to the right with the goal that your hand goes over the right toe as far as possible;
- Lean back as much as you can on the rotation;
- When you do forward rotation, put your arms and your hands on one side, over your left toes;
- One rotation implies one round finished, do at least 5 to 10 rotations clockwise and after that in the anti-clockwise direction;
- While doing the rotation, you should move your body from your hips. (Your hips should be straight; try to move your upper body from the hips);
- For beginners, try to rotate 5 to 6 rotations in one attempt;
- To release from this position, breathe in and slowly get on to the starting position. Now keep both your hands alongside your body, keep your leg straight and take a deep breath and relax;
- Do this asana again. You should do a minimum of 10 repetitions of this asana for better results;
- Initially, when you start this yoga asana, you will feel some pain in your legs, hips, thighs, and arms, but as you practice more, you can do this asana more easily.
