Description
The inversions play a great role in keeping the endocrine system_ of men as well as women in order. Men too need the restorative asanas, the supine asanas, to recover from fatigue as much as women. Women normally do selected forward extensions along with supine asanas and perhaps supported Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana and Setubandha Sarvangasana during menstruation. This particular sequence,· recommended to women, is not prohibited at ~II for men, though men do not menstruate. It is as important for men as it is for women to maintain hormonal balance, emotional stability and to remove fatigue and check aggressiveness. In fact men should make it a regular routine to practice inversions, forward extensions and supine asanas, at least once a week in order to keep themselves free from high blood pressure, diabetes, hormonal and emotional disturbances as well as anger and desire. Then peace of mind follows.
