Etymologically this word - pawanmuktasana
signifies three aspects which are pawana namely air, wind or the
vital breath, mukta is free and asana means the sitting posture;
thus this is a yoga posturethrough which the stagnant air of the
body joints is expelled. These stagnant airs are the reason behind
arthritis. The practice of this asana has a positive and subtle
impact even regarding the heart ailments and high blood pressure.

Yoga provides agility and vigour and sets one stress free in just a
few moments. This helps in restraining the mind and in the
development of consciousness through which one can realize the main
reason behind the stress. Further depending upon the skill,
knowledge and personality one can also get the solution. Yoga raises
the level of consciousness and establishes a better understanding
between the mind and the body. This removes every dilemma and
physical afflictions. The initial part of Pawanmuktasana is quite
