to relate to it but it actually looks like a diamond okay so let's see how to do this with the synchronization and breathing and also in this video we'll be showing to you how what are the actually right ways in the asana should be performed and what are the mistakes common mistakes which actually people do and at the later part we'll i'll be explaining the limitations and what are the benefits of vajrasana okay so let's get started we'll be showing you vajrasana on the sideways so that you are able to understand how exactly we are going in the portion and it's done in the right way okay so yeah this is now as you can see your spine is erect you're looking forward straight your head and neck is stretched your both the feet are stretched out and it's together and this is called as dandasana this is for most of the sitting asanas okay now with inhalation and exhalation you have to fold your right leg and take it under your hip yes now inhale and exhale fold your left knee left leg and place it on your hip right so both the arms will be on your thighs this is vajrasana make sure your spine is erect a lot of people actually tend to sit in a lousy manner this is not the right way it has to be straight and erect right so uh we'll just show it to you what are the right methods when we are actually in the vajrasana and what are the common mistakes which people do so shia can you please turn towards the back yes so uh can you just get up yes so make sure that your heels are together and when you're sitting you are sitting on your heels a lot of people actually tend to flatten their leg or make this take this apart which is wrong so this is how you have to sit go to the posture slowly yes so now shreya is sitting on her heels initially you'll find a lot of difficulty while performing this asana but eventually you'll get a hold of this now let me tell you what are the common mistakes which people do yeah so they actually have this kind of they actually tend to join their toes and they are tend to actually apart their heels and then they sit on their ankle so this is wrong this is wrong you can see that how it is coming so you don't have to sit in this way and what others do they actually tend to move their feet uh quite wider and then they sit this is even this is wrong this is not vajrasana so you have to join your both the ankles your heels your knees should be joined your heels knees and your toes should be joined and then you have to sit yeah this is the right answer this is the right posture and your hand should be on your thighs at the same time see you can see how streams back is eric it's straight right you make sure that your back is straight you don't have to hunch this is not the right way it has to be straight yes now we'll be being in this position for five counts with normal breathing one two three four five hold it as per your convenience now with inhalation exhalation you have to take your and unfold your left leg slowly and with inhalation and exhalation you have to unfold your right leg now again you are in city that is dandasana now you can relax in shitala dandasana okay that is your incline towards back slightly and relaxing yes right this is the city for most of the sitting asanas that is dandasana and the relaxation position is shithandasana okay so now let me explain you what are the advantages and benefits of vajrasana first of all let me tell you this is the only asthma which can be performed after eating food and it helps in prevent it helps in preventing constipation it it helps in improving digestion so if you have or had heavy food you can actually sit in vajrasana and you can see that the your food is being digest instantly and you can within actually five to ten minutes of practicing vajrasana you can feel relaxed also other than that it helps in stimulating our virgin virgin nardi which is at the back near our hip region so which actually gives a lot of
