Tittibhasana

Firefly

Asana: Tittibhasana Firefly. An easy entrance to this Pose is from a low Malasana, feet open and wide, Sitts bones dropped toward the floor.  Place palms inside the feet, fingers face forward, open the elbows, placing back of thighs over upper arms. Keep chest relating to the floor, lift lower Bandhas,  release feet out, stretching toes.  If this is not yet possible, place hands on two blocks, or just remain in opening position and visualize extending a leg out, then both.  This is a nice summer pose to do upon the grass, especially in the evening when you can join the throng of fireflies lighting the night.  If you don’t accomplish the pose this summer…next summer soon here.

Health Notes: Because lungs and abdominals are contracted, the spleen, intestines, kidneys, liver, prostate, and gall bladder are vitalized, and if practiced on a regular basis, this Pose helps prevent diseases of these organs.  The nerves are soothed, and thighs and neck muscles stretched & strengthened.
