Viparita Karani

 Viparita karani is a Sanskrit term that denotes an act of inverting. In Sanskrit, viparita means "inverted" or "reversed," and karani means "doing" or "making."This yoga asana is also known as the legs up the wall pose and inverted Lake Pose.

  This asana not only reduces the wrinkles but Viparita Karani benefits  to reduce the anti-ageing effects and also provides other health benefits. This asana helps cool and soothe the nervous system. 

The higher chakras, like the third eye (ajna) and crown (sahasrara), are stimulated in this pose. Spiritual energy is redirected upward toward these energy centers, preparing the individual's mind for dharana, or concentration.

 This pose is often done as a final posture before beginning pranayama and dharana. This Yoga is advised to practise in the morning time when your stomach is empty. If you are on your periods do not practise this asana. 

If you are suffering from glaucoma or any severe eye condition, try to avoid practicing Viparita Karani pose. If you are suffering from some back injury, back pain, or neck pain, you should first consult a yoga expert and your doctor as well.
