BIKRAM YOGA VICTORIA

A compression posture, good for the hips, the spine, and the digestive system.

• Improves and prevents flatulence and abdominal discomfort
• Creates the tourniquet effect, compressing the femoral artery and cutting off the blood supply to the hips
• Improves and maintains the health and flexibility of the hip joints
• Firms abdomen, thighs, and hips
• Strengthens biceps, triceps, deltoids
• Good for arthritic starts in the fingers
• Excellent stretch for the whole spine, particularly the cervical vertebrae

Keep a tight grip and constant pressure for maximum benefit in the hips, abdomen, and finger joints. Look down the centre line of the body until you feel stretching behind your eyeballs to stretch the optical nerves, which are connected to the cervical spine.
