Experts often advise incorporating exercise, meditation, and yoga into your daily routine to maintain health and fitness. Increased physical activity offers protection against various diseases and helps regulate weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. However, many people struggle to find time for lengthy gym workouts or walks. If this sounds familiar, consider incorporating ‘walking’ in Malasana pose into your routine. Even a few minutes daily can provide surprising benefits.
Benefits of Malasana Yoga Pose
Practising Malasana, even for 2-5 minutes daily, offers numerous health advantages:
Improved Digestion: Malasana can alleviate constipation by promoting bowel movements. This pose helps eliminate waste from the intestines, addressing problems like gas, indigestion, bloating, and heartburn.
Weight Management: Walking in Malasana is particularly beneficial for targeting fat around the stomach and waistline. The gentle movement in Malasana also boosts metabolism and fat burning.
Enhanced Bone and Joint Health: This practice strengthens and promotes the health of leg muscles, joints, and bones, reducing the risk of bone diseases and alleviating joint pain.
Relief From Menstrual Discomfort: For women, walking in Malasana strengthens pelvic muscles, potentially reducing period pain, cramps, and discomfort.
Improved Flexibility and Focus: This pose relaxes muscles in the pelvic region, hips, and thighs. It also enhances concentration and focus and supports meditation. The hip-opening nature of Malasana increases flexibility and strength in the hips and thighs.

- While seated, ‘walk’ slowly by moving one leg forward at a time.
