Natarajasana
 

What is Natarajasana?

Natrajasana or the Dancer pose symbolizes the dancing Nataraja. Nataraja is another name of Lord Shiva who is known as “lord of the dance”. His dance symbolizes cosmic energy in its "five actions:" creation, maintenance, and destruction or re-absorption of the world, concealment of authentic being, and salvific grace.

What is the technique of Natarajasana?

Start with standing firm in Tadasana (Mountain Pose) with legs together. Then shift onto your left leg and bend your right leg, taking hold of the top of your foot or ankle with your right hand; keep knees together. Extend your left arm in front of you at a shoulder height, keeping your shoulders level. Balance in this position. Then raise your right leg as high as you can behind you, extending your right arm. As you do so. Make sure your right thigh is facing downward. Hold for three to eight breaths. Feel the two-way stretch between your left arm reaching forward, and your right arm and leg reaching backward. Reverse to the original position and then repeat to the other side.

 

 

What are the benefits of practicing Natarajasana?

Natarajasana provides great stretch to the shoulders, chest, thighs, groin, and abdomen. It strengthens legs and ankles.  It improves balance and builds inner and outer steadiness. It inculcates a psychological lift and opens the heart. Thus it works on mind, body and soul as well.
