Here are 5 effective asanas to flush out kidney stones. 1. Ustrasana Camel Pose (Ustrasana) is a backbending yoga posture that opens the entire front side of the body. It is an intermediate level back-bending yoga posture known to open Anahata (Heart Chakra). This yoga posture adds flexibility and strength to the body and also helps in improving digestion. The name comes from the Sanskrit words Ushtra meaning "camel" and Asana meaning "posture" or "seat". Today in 'Yoga and You' Dhivya from Dhivyam Yoga shows us how to do Camel Pose (Ustrasana). How to Kneel on the yoga mat and place your hands on the hips. Your knees should be in line with the shoulders and the sole of your feet should be facing the ceiling. As you inhale, draw in your tail-bone towards the pubis as if being pulled from the navel. Simultaneously, arch your back and slide your palms backwards towards your ankles until the arms are straight. Do not strain or flex your neck but keep it in a neutral position. Stay in this posture for a couple of breaths. Breathe out and slowly come back to the initial pose. Withdraw your hands and bring them back to your hips as you straighten up. 2. Bhujangasana The name comes from the Sanskrit words bhujanga meaning "snake" or "serpent" and asana meaning "posture" or "seat". From a prone position with palms and legs on the floor, the chest is lifted. Bhujangasana may strengthen the spine, stretch the chest, shoulders, and abdomen, firm the buttocks, and relieve stress and fatigue.
