When I was in school, we were asked to stand, with our hands up, as a punishment. When I attended yoga classes, I learned that this is a way to recharge our bodies with energy.
It can also be combined with Ashwini mudra.
Ashwini mudra is an ancient practice that combines the contraction and relaxation of the muscles of the pelvic floor and anus.
Talasana (standing with the hands up) benefits:
1. It influences the health of the entire body.
2. It alleviates various diseases linked to the digestive system, improves the vital capacity of our lungs and the quality & circulation of blood.
3. Improves mental and physical balance, increase concentration power, optimism and self-confidence and increases emotional strength & spiritual growth.
Ashwini Mudra Benefits:
Strengthens the anal muscles
1. Prevents the escape of pranic energy and redirects it upward
2. Helps to stimulate intestinal peristalsis so helps constipation
3. Squeezes stagnant blood away from the anus therefore helping prevent piles
4. Helps alleviate prolapse of anus or rectum and encourages pelvic floor muscles to engage
