    Bull Posture

    Sit down on the floor, spine straight and legs outstretched.
    Bend your right leg and place it over the left one with your right
    heel against your left hip.
    Bend your left leg and place your left heel against your
    right hip. You are now in the position I am demonstrating in
    figure 23 with your right leg uppermost.
    Hold this position for as long as you comfortably can and
    then alteration over your legs so that your left is uppermost.
    You will feel the stretch imparted to the sciatic nerve in the leg which is uppermost. If your sciatica is very painful I hope you will not try to force your legs where they will not easily go as this would cause you a amazing deal of pain and discomfort. Slowly and gently is the word here, practice a little each day and you will soon be able to execute a beautiful Bull posture. If any part of your leg or hip aches when you attempt this asana this can be strongly massaged with your fingers to bring relief. If you proceed with extreme caution this asana, more than any other with the possible exception of the Forward Bend, will loosen the sciatic nerve and restore elasticity.
    If you do not suffer from sciatica regular practice of the Bull Posture will ensure that you never do. Your muscles in the lower half of the back would be strengthened so sufferers from lumbago will also find the Bull Posture of amazing value. When, after careful practice, you could perform this asana to your liking and can hold it in comfort for various minutes, while you hold it practice deep breathing with your eyes closed and your spine held straight. You will find it a valuable exercise in the calming of the mind, and this calmness should be reflected in the serene expression of the face.
    The next stage of the Bull Posture involves the arms and shoulders. As you sit comfortably in this seated posture raise the hand corresponding to your leg which is uppermost and bring it behind your shoulder. At the same time bend the other arm backwards and upwards and join your fingers together. Proper execution of this movement will develop your trapezoidal muscles, and prevent bursitis, and arthritis of the shoulders. It may take a little practice for you to be able to join your hands together in this novel technique but do go slowly and you will soon succeed. It is well worth a little effort.
    The Squatting Pose which I described in chapter five will also bring respite to sufferers from lumbago and sciatica. Though not a beautiful posture it's an invaluable one. Yoga, as a normal rule, is as graceful as ballet dancing in its static grace as opposed to the fleeting movements of ballet, but the ancient Yogis in their wisdom did not omit various ungraceful postures for the sake of the body’s health and well being. Such a one is the Squatting Pose and there are various others scattered about in these pages. They are incorporated for a very wonderful reason so do not omit them because of their lack of aesthetic appeal.
    But now, to make up for the ungainly Squat which will greatly aid your lumbago and sciatica here is an equally beneficial one which has all the bizarre grace of the insect from which it takes its name.
