Owling is Malasana ....an introduction Ver1.0





Owling is the latest Internet trend or craze after planking...planking ? you ask me ... planks which are use to build bridges and close up holes..?? NO here it means

lying across objects such as tables and and in extreme ones.. the bathroom potty face down...in a motionless moment... but now ... step aside its owling now ..

OWLING.....it consists of nothing more then crouching on ones haunches and staring into space like an owl..now people are posting pictures of themselves in unusual places crouching like and OWL... and staring... well I think its a good pose for those stressed out and this pose is recommended by yoga for those always sitting on their butts ..for long period...... like the facebook addicts ...

Malasana (also called Garland Pose) is a wide squat. If you spend most of the day sitting in chairs this pose is for you! It really helps to open your hips. In many parts of the world, where sitting on the floor is common, the squat is a position that people naturally take in order to relax. It allows the skeleton to relax and prevents compression on the tailbone, the sacrum and in the lower back.

Well before the Internet world comes out and says its newest discovery ... let me tell you that in asian villages this is a normal way of sitting ..so as not to get your saree or dhoti dirty as you wait for the local bus
or a friend to come by... or when some one is smoking or erm ... doing their business...( get it ? ) there will be hold they crouch above ... this may be a great phenomenal to the western world ..but for the eastern world.. its so normal..

this is an introduction .... to the crazy trends in this stressful world ... of MINE !!!
