(Please read the necessary precautions)
Procedure I (Uddiyana): Stand with your feet apart. Bend slightly forward and place the palms on
your thighs; bend your knees slightly. Exhale fully, and hold your breath. Draw the ab
muscles inwards and count 1 through 6. Then stand up and loosen the tightened stomach.
Repeat 6 times without a break, then take rest in Shavasana (Corpse Posture). This was
Uddiyana (Abdomen Retraction).
Procedure II
(Nauli): When you have practiced
Uddiyan for quite a while, you are ready to go the next level called "Nauli" or
"Isolation of the Rectus Abdominis Muscles". Standing in Uddiyana posture,
expand just the central ab muscles by exhaling and holding the breath for 6 seconds. Note:
the two sides of the belly will still remain retracted. Repeat 6 times continuously, then
take rest in Shavasana
(Corpse Posture).
Cures/Relieves: Indigestion, Dysentery, Constipation, Acidity,
