Makarasana

These yoga exercises are the simplified form of makarasana developed by Yogiraj Vethathiri Maharishi. This is a simple yoga asana not involving extreme stretching exercises for the lower back pain compared with other exercises. So this form can be practiced by anyone who does not have any yogic background either. All necessary measures mentioned in the yoga postures should also be considered in this exercise. One has to do this exercise with an empty stomach. For better result, morning hours are more preferable.
