How to do Parvatasana (The Mountain Pose)?

  2. From Ashwa Sanchalanasana, straighten the bend leg and take it backwards. Exhale during this process. Let the right and left foot be together.
  3. Raise the buttocks up. Let the two arms be on the floor and support the body weight. Lower the head to be between the two arms. The body makes the shape of a triangle when observed from the sides. It looks like a mountain and hence the name.

The mantra to be chanted is given below:During 9th pose chant “Om Marichaye Namaha”. It means salutation to the lord of the dawn.
