Asana for height growth and Stronger Groins

Want another inch to your height?  Or do you want to make your groins stronger? Make some moves, and try these basic asanas. Asanas are the various positions that make up the practice of Yoga.

• Talasana ~ the palm pose

This aims at increasing a person's height as it aims at stretching the thorax and the lower abdomen by a combination of anterior, posterior, and lateral skeleton movements when one is growing up and even up to some years after one has reached maturity.

Stand erect with feet together or apart. Keep hands parallel to the sides, chest forward, neck straight, abdomen and chin in. Slowly raise one arm to vertical position and simultaneously rise on the toes and inhale. Breathe in deep and stretch to the maximum. Gradually return to normal. Repeat with the other hand. Stay in this position for 10 secs for each round.
The second type of Talasana involves the raising of both arms together.

• Utkatasana ~ semi-standing pose on tiptoe

This pose flexes the muscles of the legs and the pelvis.

Stand, keep the hands stretched parallel in front or at the sides with palms down, then squat. While squatting, slowly rise on tiptoe as you inhale. When breathe intake is complete squat again exhaling with thighs pressing against the respective calves. Taking in breath rise up on toes to standing position. Then slowly lower the heels to the floor. Rest for 4 secs, then repeat. Do these for 2 minutes for 10 rounds.

• Bhadrasana ~ the throne pose

Make your groins stronger with this asana. This pose is an exercise for the pelvic organs, the groin, the unused thigh muscles and the sex organs.

Sit on the floor with legs stretched out in front. While maintaining the contact with the floor, draw both the legs nearer the body with the knees bent outward and the soles of the feet together. Inhale and bring the feet close to the genitals - touching the perineum, with the toes pointing outward. Palms outward, place the hand on respective knees placing them down. Hold the pose and then slowly return to normal while exhaling. Do this for 15 seconds for each round
