The word Pawanmuktasana (PMA) is composed of three Sanskrit words: pawan meaning ‘wind’ or ‘air’ and in Ayurvedic terms ‘vata’ or ‘vayu’, mukta, ‘liberation’ or ‘freedom’, and asana, ‘posture’. PMA then means the posture which releases or liberates wind or air. Allowing Pawan – ‘Divine Wind’, the breath and the vital force associated with it) – to freely flow throughout the mind-body system is essential in accomplishing a sense of well-being, and to gain and maintain good health.
This practice offers a set of very simple yet powerful exercises intended to unblock and reestablish the natural flow of life force or vitality. Symptoms are a result of, or themselves result in an alteration of he natural flow of vital force. PMA can be defined as the series of asanas that liberates movement, opposing stagnation, degeneration and disease, allowing change, renewal and rejuvenation. PMA therefore helps manage the symptoms of grief.
At the same time this practice provides an opportunity to reach a deeper contact with the body improving self-knowledge.
