How Vajrasana Benefits Your Body
The Vajrasana is one of the simplest yoga asanas and has a myriad of health benefits. This pose is also known as the diamond pose or thunderbolt pose in English. It is a seated yoga posture, often practiced in meditation. It is said that with consistent practice, this asana makes you as strong as a diamond. Hence, the name “Vajrasana” is derived from the Sanskrit word “vajra” which means diamond, and asana means pose. It is claimed that 5-7 minutes of diamond pose gives the same benefit as a long walk.
