Preparation
This asana stretches the intestines and abdominal organs and is useful for all abdominal ailments. It also relieves inflamed and bleeding piles. This practice is very good for asthma and bronchitis as it encourages deep respiration. Let's look at how it's done: Sit in padmasana and relax the whole body. This is the starting position.
Method
Step 1
Carefully bend backward, supporting the body with the arms and elbows
Step 2
Lift the chest slightly, take the head back and place the crown of the head to the floor
Step 3
Hold the big toes and rest the elbows on the floor
Step 4
Adjust the position of the head so that the maximum arch of the back is attained
Step 5
Don't strain any body part, relax the whole body, allowing the head, hips, and legs to support the weight of the body
Step 6
Close your eyes and breathe slowly and deeply
Step 7
Return to the starting position, reversing the order of movements
Step 8
Repeat the asana, with the legs crossed the other way
Step 9
And that's how you do Matsyasana
Step 10
