The Diamond Pose-An essential for the Yoga Beginner.

 
There are over 84, 000 yoga poses but some do stand out as essentials and should be practiced daily. One of them is the Diamond Pose also known as Vajrasana.

Now why do I single this pose out for beginner yoga enthusiasts?

Well, here are some of its benefits:

1. Vajrasana strengthens the muscles of thighs and calves.

2. This is one asana which can be done immediately after consuming food. Sit in Vajrasana and do right nostril breathing. This relieves heaviness in stomach and improves digestion.

3. Vajrasana is a very important meditation posture, as we can sit with an erect spine comfortably for a long time. This is a very good pose for people suffering from sciatica and sacral infections.

Here's how to get into this simple pose.

Techniques

Sit on the floor with legs stretched forward, place palms on the floor, by the side of the hips, keeping back straight.

Lean towards left and bend your right leg and keep the heel right under the buttock.

Similarly, lean to the right and bring the left leg under the left buttock. Keep the knees close to each other, spine erect.

Keep the head, shoulder and buttocks in one plane. Rest the palms on each other and then on the upper part of the thighs.

Look straight, then close the eyes and maintain the final posture for a while.
While returning to the original position, lean to your right, unfold left leg, lean to the left and unfold the right leg.

Pretty much, just sit on your heels...that's about it.

Even several non-yoga practitioners execute this pose for its immense benefits in inducing a state of meditation, and calm. They include Muslims, Buddhist Monks and African Herbalists.

Heck, even kids and some animals can be observed executing this yoga pose naturally and instinctively.

So fellow beginners of yoga, make sure this pose is a staple in your routine.

Om.

Foras Aje was born in Washington DC and at the age of four moved with his family to Ijebu-Igbo, Ogun State, Nigeria. It was here that he was endowed by his father with a desire to delve into the cause and reasons for occurrences and results.

This lent itself into finding the solutions to the maladies acne and asthma, of which he was suffering, after other conventional methods proved unsuccessful. Consequently, this placed him on the path of naturopathy otherwise known as drugless healing.

Through a radical change in diet and exercise: (Yoga and Calisthenics), he was able to banish close to a decade of his marring acne and a lifetime of asthma. Along with this came the disappearance of depression, lethargy and a marked increase in overall health and fitness.

Convinced of the efficiency of the methods passed down from great health pioneers, in his words: "My goal is to show as many people as I can the wonderful results of Nature's way of healing the body if she's only given half a chance! There is no limit to the potential the human body has when it adheres to her laws! With proper diet, positive mental attunement and exercise, any and everyone can unshackle the bondage of misery and disease in one's own life."
