UTTHITA PADMASANA (LOLASANA)This asana is a variation of Padmasana. In this asana the body is lifted up with both the hands on the floor. This is the reason why it is called ‘Utthita Padmasana’ or Lolasana or Dolasana. This asana is more difficult than Padmasana because in this asana the whole body is balanced on both the hands.
Technique:
Sit in Padmasana. Rest the palms on the floor besides the hips. Slowly raise the trunk without a jerk. The body should not quiver. Retain the breath in the lungs as long as the body is in the raised position. Exhale when the body is lowered down. While performing this asana some beginners experience tremor in the hands because of some weakness.. But it should not dishearten them. They should practice the asana patiently and with perseverance.
Advantages:
Ø This asana strengthens the joints and muscles of the arms
Ø This asana helps to cure intestinal weakness, constipation, indigestion, dysentery, drowsiness, impurities of tubular channels, etc
Ø This asana works as an appetizer which is a good characteristic of health
