Duration
It should be maintained for at least one minute, to have the desiredstrain and benefits; with practice, duration can be increased to threeminutes.
InternalEffects
In this asana the joints of the legs, the waist, the spinal column andthe neck get curved in opposite direction. As a result of this, the bloodcirculation to these joints is regulated. The spinal column becomeselastic and its functioning improves. There is pressure on the digestiveorgans and the belly gets stretched, which promotes their functioning.
Precaution
The process of the backward bending should be slow and controlled,else it becomes difficult to maintain the balance. The loss of balancemay prove injurious to certain parts of the body. Slow and controlledmovements help in having halt at the needed point and avoiding theunwanted strain.

This asana is to be repeated for the right leg also.
