Ashlesha Nakshatra Yoga: Naga (Serpent God)-Aligned Practice

Sit with right leg extended, left foot outside right knee. Place right elbow outside left knee, twist left. Left hand behind for support.

Named for the Lord of the Fishes (half-fish, half-serpent), this twist deeply activates Ashlesha's sacral energy.

Lie face down, forearms on mat, elbows under shoulders. Lift chest. Gaze forward with the steady, unblinking awareness of a serpent.

The serpent's resting position: alert, grounded, with poison transformed into wisdom through stillness.

From cobra, press fully into straight arms, lift thighs off the ground. Crown of head reaches back toward the feet. Full spinal extension.

The peak expression of serpent energy: the kundalini fully risen, the Naga in its most powerful, expanded form.

Lie on back, draw one knee to chest and guide it across the body. Extend opposite arm. Let gravity coil you gently.

A final gentle coiling that allows the activated serpent energy to integrate safely throughout the body.

Lie flat, place hands on lower belly. Breathe deeply into the sacral center. Let the serpent rest.

The serpent returns to its resting coil at the base of the spine, now carrying the wisdom of its journey.
