Paryankāsana

Paryanka means bed or sopha.

Technique:
  • Sit in veerāsana.
  • Breathe out and bend your trunk backwards and come to Supta Veerāsana.  Lift the neck and the chest and arching the back up, rest only crown of the head on the floor.  No part of the trunk should be on the floor.  
  • Bend the arms at the elbows.  Hold the left elbows with  right hand and vice versa.
  • Rest the folded arms on the floor behind the head. 
  • Stay in this pose for a minute with even breathing.
  • Breathe in, rest the trunk and neck on the floor, release the hands and sit up in Veerāsana.
  • Then straighten the legs one by one, lie flat on the back and relax.
