15.- THE PASCHIMOTTANA-ASANA.16.- THE GORAKSHASANA.17.- THE UTKATASANA.18.- THE SANKATASANA.


Spread the two legs on the ground, stiff like a stick (the heels not touching), and place the forehead on the two knees, and catch with the hands the toes. This is called the Paschimottana-Asana.

 

Between the knees and and the thighs, the two feet turned upward and placed in a hidden way, the heels being carefully covered by the two hands outstretched; the throat being contracted, let one fix the gaze on the tip of the nose. This is called Gorakshasana. It gives success to the Yogis.

 

Let the toas touch the ground, and the heels be raised in the air; place the anus on the heels: this is known as the Utkatasana.

Placing the left foot and the leg on the ground, surround the left foot by the right leg; and place the two hands on the two knees. This is the Sankatasana.
