Yoga Mudra Asana (Yoga Seal Posture)

This Asana is highly extolled in Yogic literature for awakening the Kundalini Shakti. Remaining in this posture for a long time awakens the dormant Shakti.

Synchronisation of Breath

While bending forward breathe out and have outer retention in the final posture. While raising the head up, breathe in.
