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
