Gomukhasana: Cow Face Pose
A relatively complex posture, the Cow Face Pose might not be the easiest to master, especially if you have stiffness in the muscles. The position of the arms stretch the shoulders, armpits, triceps, and chest, strengthen the back muscles, and tone the arms. The pose demonstrates how different the two sides of most people’s bodies are. It improves the functioning of the kidneys, reduces the risk of diabetes, and relieves stress and anxiety. The pose can also help you correct your posture and equalise your flexibility. Those suffering from severe back and shoulder pain are advised to avoid practicing the asana.
How to do Gomukhasana
1. Start the pose by sitting in Dandasana. Half Lotus or Fire Leg pose can also work well, as your legs are already stacked in them.
2. Bring the right foot over the left thigh; slide your thigh close to the left hip. Bring the left ankle around the side of the right hip.
3. Gently slide both the feet far behind your hip area. Make sure that you maintain the position and are comfortable in the same.
4. Maintain your spine in a straight and vertical position while you keep your head facing forward.
5. Raise your right arm, gently bring it over the shoulder and place it behind your back. Stretch as much as possible. You can even use the left hand to gently shift the right elbow towards your midline.
6. Now wrap the left arm around your back and try to grasp the left hand with your right hand. Clasp your fingers tightly together.
