April 27th 2009 17:52
Poorna Supta Vajrasana is also known as the Diamond pose. To perform this pose, begin in the Chakrasana posture, also known as the Kneeling Wheel. From this position, slowly bend further backward, keeping your middle raised. Your head should touch the floor. You may be able to hold your feet rather than ankles. To complete the pose, lower your forehead to the floor, rather than the top back of your head, so that your face is faced downward and situated between your two feet.
A variation of the pose is to retain your head rested on the top back, rather than rolling onto the forehead. You then move your arms. Pull your hands towards your knees and try to clasp hold of them. You can then improve the stretch of this pose by pulling gently on your knees.
The pose should be held for several full breaths before release. Remember to release the posture slowly, to ensure safety. You can injure your spine or neck, if you try to leave the pose too quickly, as well as becoming dizzy.
