Yoga postures � viparita karani (half candle posture)
-
Viparita karani is praised in the yoga world as the ideal rejuvenation position. Even the Gheranda-samhita, a classic Indian yoga scripture, praises it. Viparita karani is the simplest of all the 'inverted' asanas, such as sirsasana (headstand) and sarvangasana (shoulder stand). That does not alter the fact that despite its simplicity, the benefits are enormous. For example, it is an excellent exercise for those who suffer from hemorrhoids and varicose veins. Moreover, viparita karani is the perfect asana to prevent these ailments. A starting cold is also nipped in the bud. According to the yoga manuals, viparita karani can be performed after halasana (plow pose), as an 'intermediate step' when entering sarvangasana or as a final step after a practice session.
