Benefits of Eka Pada Pranamasana:
1. Eka Pada Pranamasana is a balancing pose. It helps to develop the sense of equilibrium as the entire weight is supported on one leg.
2. It strengthens the muscles of the leg, foot and ankle.
3. This practice improves awareness as the balance can be lost if the mind wavers during the practice. Balancing requires close coordination of many muscles in the foot, ankle, lower legs, thighs and the lower back. By maintaining awareness, this fine tuning is achieved.
4. In the Indian Puranas, there are many instances of Rishis doing austerities in the one-legged Prayer pose. It is said that Sage Bhagiratha did penance in this pose to propitiate Lord Shiva, to help bring down the Holy river Ganges to the earth. Sage Bhagiratha had earlier propitiated Lord Brahma to bring down the Ganges to earth. But no one could arrest the force of the Ganges when it flows down and hence he prayed to Lord Shiva, standing on one foot. Lord Shiva appeared and agreed to arrest the force of the descending Ganges using his tresses. He stood on a nearby peak and took the force of the decent on his matted locks of hair. Hence Lord Shiva is depicted as the Ganges flowing from his matted hair.
