B H A D R A S A N A - T H E T H R O N E P O S E
ETYMOLOGY:
The English translation of the Sanskrit term BHADRA is "throne". BHADRASANA means thus "the posture of the throne". This physical /bodily posture must not be mistaken for BHADRASANA, "the posture of the blessing", which is quite different.
BACKGROUND:
The great Yogi GORAKSHA used to spend much time sitting in this posture. Therefore, this asana bears also the name GORKSHASANA. In other treaties, you may find this asana under the name BADDHA KONASANA. BADDHA means "caught", "held", and KONASANA means "angle".
In the renowned yogic treaty HATHA YOGA PRADIPIKA, sloka 55-56-57 we find the following description:
"Place the heels on either side of the seam of the Perineum, keeping the left heel on the left side and the right one on the right side, holding the feet firmly joined to one another with both the hands. This Bhadrasana is the destroyer of all diseases.
The expert Yogis call this Goraksa asana. By sitting with this asana, the Yogi gets rid of fatigue."
EXECUTION AND SUBTLE ENERGY EFFECTS:
In order to practice hatha yoga you need to have experienced supervision; also, being part of a yoga practice group helps. Some asanas have medical counter indications - we urge you not to consider this site a guide to the practice of hatah yoga. We chose not to publish this information on the sivasakti.net website; you can find it in the yoga classes organized by our school.
BENEFICIAL EFFECTS:
This asana acts efficiently on the muscles and ligaments of the pelvic floor and on the genital-urinary system. It also renders the articulations of the thighs and knees more elastic.
The stretching of the muscles and ligaments causes an intense excitation of the proprioreceptors. Through the vegetative centres in the hypothalamus, the activity of the heart and respiratory system are highly stimulated.
This posture is remarkable as regards its effects in the case of anal-rectal diseases. The constant practice of this asana cures the haemorrhoids.
The pelvis, abdomen, and back are highly flooded with blood and thus stimulated.
Brings and maintains a state of perfect health of the kidneys, prostate, and urinary tract.
Prevents hernia.
Eliminates the states of certain forms of frigidity. Practised in combination with SARVANGASANA and SHALABASANA (asanas which will be presented furthermore in this section) it brings to normal the internal activity of the ovaries. It may be included in the training programme of pregnant women, preparing them for a painless delivery.
You may perform this asana right after eating because it stimulates and facilitates the digestion, even increasing the appetite to a healthy level.
CAUTION:
It is forbidden to practice this asana if you suffer of sciatica, especially during the crisis. Nevertheless, if it is practised moderately, without forcing, BHADRASANA may eliminate sciatic pain.
