Benefits:
In this movement, the body takes on the shape of a tortoise with its limbs drawn in, symbolizing withdrawal of the senses, or pratyahara. When one draws the senses inward towards silence, the mind becomes calm and the practitioner develops a sense of equanimity in all of life’s situations. On a purely physical level, the muscles that run the entire length of the spine receive a delicious stretch, while the abdominal organs receive a deep massage.
Contraindications:
Avoid this movement if you are pregnant, menstruating, have a, shoulder or neck injury or if you are suffering from diarrhoea.
