My Favorie Asana Would be the Cobra:bhujangasana
Physical Benefits:
>increases flexibility,rejuvenates spinal nerves, and brings a rich blood supply to the spinal region.
>works, massages, and tones the back muscles.
>stretches he thoracic region and expands the rib cage, bringing relief from asthma.
>massages all organs through gentle pressure on all abdomen.
>helps relieve problems of the uterus and ovaries, and menstrual problems

* I definetly agree that all these physical benefits is true , they all have worked for me and each and every time is never the same. I can feel the difference in my body and it definitly helps with pain.

Mental benefits
>demands considerable concentration, and strenghtens facutly.
* it definitly makes me concentrate more.

as for pranic and spiritual, i couldnt quite tell the difference.

My Favorite asana would most definately be the cobra, because it's the only one i can do.

Physical benifits:

1)Increase flexibility

2)Rejuvenates spinal nerves

3)Helps relieve menstrual problems & problems with uterus & ovaries

Pranic:

1)Stimulate flow to lung, stomach, kidney, bladder, & spleen meridians, awakens the Kundalini (potential spiritual energy), assist in realizing one’s full potential, produces body heat

Spiritual Beniftis

1)It increases awareness of, and hence control over, the subtle energy in the spine.

Chakra

1)Anahata
