many benefits to the extent of healing ailments. This pose is used out of habit by yogis
for meditative purposes. Let us go in detail with some of it’s benefits.

heels giving the body a great looking posture and helps in transporting the prana
smoothly to the entire body. This flow of prana is the first stage to heal the body from
within.
•Increases Flexibility in Ankles: The ankles are bent so well giving room for greater
flexibility right up to the tips of the toes.
•Improves Blood Circulation: The folding of the knees and the thighs stretches these
muscles and improves blood circulation and improves flexibility.
•Strengthens Pelvic Muscles: In this pose as the spine is elevated and away from the
floor, the flow of blood is altered along with the nervous impulses in the pelvic region
and pelvic muscles are strengthened.
•Improves Digestion: As this is one of the few yoga poses which can be practiced even
after a meal, it is considered as a good way to help in digestion and increases the
efficiency of the digestive system.
•Stabilizes Mind and Body: In this pose it is said that the mind and the body become
stabilized, hence is recommended for pranayama and meditation which later improves
concentration and memory.

abdominal area, with the special fold of the legs creating a bandha. This bandha
controls the blood circulation from the waist downwards.

certain difficult yoga poses as it controls the flow of blood and calms the entire body.
•Sciatica: This meditative pose helps with people suffering from sciatica and sacral
infections.

advice and guidance before practicing this and should perform this pose with a trained
yoga teacher. The pressure on the anus in this pose may bring unwanted pressure to the
intestine.

Obesity :-Triangle (Trikonasana)

A. Straighten the front knee, shift left hip back and reach forward with your right arm
until you find your “edge”.
B. Place the right arm on the inside of the right knee and lift left arm to the sky.
Triangle Pose Benefits:
With the practice of Trikonasana (Triangle Pose), the benefits derived would be the
same as with the practice of Utthita Trikonasana (Extended Triangle Pose). But as the
position of the hand is different in both, the additional benefits derived are mentioned
below:
1.Hips: In this variation of Triangle Pose, the hand when placed behind stretches one
side the hip joint while the other side flexes with compression of the hip joint and the
various muscles around it. This increases the flexibility of the hip to a great extent.
2.Shoulders: When the arms extend to reach behind the foot, the shoulders stretch more,
improving the flexibility too.
3.Alignment: Only with proper alignment can the hand be placed behind the foot and
hence the focus towards the same will help with challenging yoga poses too.
4.Advance yoga pose: The practice of Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) helps to prepare for
Fallen Star Pose (Patita Tarasana), which is a deeper variation of Triangle Pose.
5.Abdominal muscles: Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) compresses the side abdominal
muscles (the side that is towards the floor), while also stretching the opposite side of
the abdominal muscles deeper.
Triangle Pose Contraindications:
Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) is a lateral bending posture and with this come a few
contraindications or precautions to keep in mind. Given below are these precautions
explained:
1.Injury: Students with an injury of the back like; slip disc or disc bulge should avoid the
practice of Trikonasana (Triangle Pose). Those with issues related to the knee, hips,
ankles, shoulders, neck, or the abdominal area should take proper guidance from a yoga
teacher to avoid further complications.
2.Women: While women can practice this under the guidance of a yoga teacher, and
who otherwise have no other health issues.
3.Blood Pressure and Heart: Breathing can get difficult while doing a lateral bend
especially for those students suffering from blood pressure or having heart related
issues. Hence best done in a modified way and then go slowly into the complete
Triangle Pose. The option of this modification can be this at Utthita Trikonasana Block
(Extended Triangle Pose Block), or Trikonasana Chair (Triangle Pose Chair).

•Sciatica: Someone who suffers from sciatica related to the sciatic nerves should avoid
Easy Pose (Sukhasana) as the sciatica nerve can get pinched.

maximum stretch and are toned are the shoulders, arms, wrists, legs, chest, entire spine
and the muscles around, cervical and neck, facial muscles, abdominal muscles and
thighs. The entire body weight is balanced on the wrists and feet , but the art of

like the kidney, liver and pancreas. The chest is stretched giving scope for the heart to
function well and get the blood circulation going thus maintaining the heart.The lungs

way to difficult to practice. The reason being while releasing from the pose any form of
jerk to the back may not be advisable.
•Heart problems, If any student is suffering from heart ailments then surely one should
avoid this pose completely and not even risk the attempt.
•Pressure, If the student has a history of either High Blood Pressure or Low Blood
Pressure , then the practice of this pose should be done with proper guidance after many
rounds and months of practice of various other backbends.

form of injury to the neck, most certainly should avoid this pose. But where one is
suffering from weak or stiff neck and needs the opening then this could be done with
proper guidance.

pose and hence after complete healing and after the advice of the doctor this practice
can be undertaken with guidance.

or confidence, the teacher should realise this and not impose the stretch or the pose
without working on the flexibility and confidence.

parts around the abdomen.
•By pressing the thighs onto the abdomen, pressure falls on the lower back thus
strengthening the muscles.

arms and shoulders are essential , hence this works to tone the arms and shoulders.
•Relieves tiredness from legs.
•Strengthens back.
•Firms abdominal muscles.
•Strengthens legs and hips.
•Cures joint pains.

Thus are the most important benefits while practicing Pawanamuktasana.

Pawanmuktasana Contraindications:
Indeed this is categorised as a simple Intermediate Pose Level, but some precautions
are essential. They are:
•Anyone with severe migraine should not try this as the pressure around the abdomen
will make the breathing difficult thus causing pressure to the head.
•Students with High or Low Pressure should do this with the guidance of the teacher.
One can start this asana by practicing with one leg as in Half Wind Release Pose.
•Generally during the women's cycle, the uterus is enlarged thus making it difficult to put
pressure on the abdominal area. Hence should be avoided during this period.
•Someone with Asthma should understand the flow of breath before the practice of this
pose and pressure around the chest and lungs may cause stress during breathing.
•Slip Disc is considered as a critical case and therefore should be avoided during the
practice of this asana. The condition of the patient should be understood well and then
introduce this practice.
•Advance stages of spondylitis may not be a good thing and hence avoid this pose.
•Someone with any problems related to the internal organs of the lower abdomen
should avoid this pose or take the guidance of the teacher while practicing.
Thus are the few contraindications, but which can be overcome with proper guidance
from an experienced teacher in the field of yoga.

Game of your Choice:- Basketball

HISTORY AND ORIGIN
James Naismith was the Canadian physicaleducation instructor who inventedbasketball
in 1891. James Naismith wasborn in Almont, Ontario and educated atMcGill University
and Presbyterian Collegein Montreal.In contrast to other sports, basketball hasa clear
origin. It is not the evolutionfrom an ancient game or another sport andthe inventor is
well known: Dr. JamesNaismith. In 1891, while working as aphysical education teacher
at the YMCAInternational Training School (today,Springfield College) in the United
States,Naismith was faced with the problem offinding in 14 days an indoor game
toprovide "athletic distraction" for thestudents at the School for ChristianWorkers
(Naismith was also a Presbyterianminister).After discardingthe idea ofadapting
outdoorgames like soccerand lacrosse,
Naismith recalled the concept of a game ofhis school days known as duck-on-a-
rockthat involved accuracy attempting to knocka "duck" off the top of a large rock
bytossing another rock at it.Of course it was not exactly as we know ittoday. The first
game was played with asoccer ball and two peach baskets nailed10-feet high used as
goals, on a court justhalf the size of a present-day court. Thebaskets retained their
bottoms so ballsscored into the basket had to be poked outwith a long dowel each time
and dribbling(bouncing of the ball up and down whilemoving) was not part of the
