Precautionary Measures and Contraindications:

The safe and effective practice of Jathara Parivartanasana can be ensured by avoiding these common mistakes.

• Don’t allow your knees to shift below your pelvis region. This can place unnecessary pressure on the low back and leaves the lumbar vertebrae vulnerable to strain.
• Don’t allow your left arm and shoulder blade to lift off the ground, so your shoulder, neck, and spine don’t come under pressure.

The significant contraindications include those with any spinal injuries, women who are menstruating and ladies who are pregnant as this yoga posture requires abdominal strength and tightening of the abdominal muscles. Those people suffering from recent or chronic injury to the knees, hips or back can practice Jathara Parivartanasana by keeping the knees on the floor. The use of bolsters is recommended for these persons so that they can rest the lower portion of the legs; since this is more restorative.

In this generation with people obsessed with long tiring sessions in front of TV and computer, this exercise comes to us as a relief and a blessing. This Yoga posture is highly recommended and truly beneficial. Hope you practice this yoga posture and say cheers to a happy, healthy and stress-free life.
