Benefits of Tadagi Mudra
Tadagi Mudra relieves any tension stored in the diaphragm and pelvic floor tones the abdominal organs and stimulates blood circulation to these areas. It improves digestion and helps to alleviate diseases in this region. The nerve plexuses in the visceral area are stimulated and toned. Bending forward and extending the stomach stretches the diaphragm and pelvic floor and creates pressure throughout the trunk of the body. This stimulates Manipura chakra, the center of energy distribution, and raises the level of Prana generally.
