Lie down with the face towards the floor; hold the arms on the sides with the palms on the floor, or under the upper thighs. Inhale lightly; retain the breath till the completion of the posture, than exhale slowly. Make the whole body stiff and raise the legs some 4-5 centimeters high. Raise the head as in the cobra posture. Also the feet are stretched with their soles pointing up. Don’t raise only the lower thighs but also the under thighs and the pelvis. Stay in this posture for 5-7 seconds slowly lower the legs exhaling slowly to the end. This exercise can be repeated 6 times.
Effect of Locust Yoga
This locust posture bends the spine inwards hence it is a posture contrary to the sitting trunk-bending and the candle posture, where the spine is bent outwards. Like the peacock posture it increases the intra-abdominal pressure. While the cobra posture develops the upper part of the body more, the locust posture works rather on the lower part of the body ad the limbs; the locust posture strengthens the muscles of the pelvis and the legs
Also the locust yoga posture relieves the constipation and works actively on all the organs of the lower part of the body, on the liver, the pancreas and specially the kidneys.
