Makarasana is practiced at the end of a yoga session to cool down the body and give it the necessary rest. So, it is best to practice Makarasana early in the morning on an empty stomach and clean bowels. In case you are not able to practice it in the morning, you can do it in the evenings after a three to four-hour gap from your last meal. If you want to practice only Makarasana, it is not necessary that your stomach must be empty.

  1. Lie down on the floor on your stomach.
  2. Fold your hands and keep the tip of the elbows on the ground with your fingers facing upwards. Keep your elbows shoulder-distance apart.
  3. Now, raise your shoulders and head. Keep your neck straight and look ahead.
  4. Bend your head a little forward and place your chin in your palms.
  5. Stretch out your legs with the toes facing outwards. Feel your body touching the ground.
  6. Breathe normally and slowly and relax your muscles.
  7. Stay in the asana for a few minutes until you feel completely relaxed.
  8. To release from the position, gently remove your palms from the chin, bring your shoulders and head down, and rollover. 

Precautions To Be Taken

Make sure that your body is comfortable while practicing the asana. If you have a serious back injury, it is best to avoid Makarasana. For those with neck injuries, avoid any pressure or support for the neck and let it stand neutral. Otherwise, place a folded blanket around the neck as support during the asana.

    If you are suffering from serious injuries and deep psychological issues, it is best to avoid the asana. Practice it only after consulting your doctor and under the supervision of a yoga teacher.

                             When your hormones are out of balance, the signs are obvious. Breakouts, irregular periods, fatigue, headaches, insomnia, mood swings, anxiety, weight gain — they’re all glaring signs that your endocrine system is suffering. Seed cycling is a natural, healthy method of using various seeds to support different phases of the menstrual cycle in order to balance hormones in menstruating women.    When you seed cycle, you rotate different seeds into your diet in accordance with the phases of your menstrual cycle to improve hormonal health.
