do the camel pose

The camel pose stretches the thighs, chest, shoulders and throat and it strengthens the legs, pelvis and lower back region. I decided to try this pose out after having indigestion and after doing the pose-well……you know it worked. So, here’s the pose;

• ·       Begin by kneeling on the floor with your thighs parallel and rest your palm on your hips, point your foot straight back and press your toenails unto the floor.
• ·       Inhale taking your thighs backward and on the next exhalation, scoop your tailbone to lengthen your lower back.
• ·       Inhale and extend from your pelvis through your head, exhale and reach back to place your right hand on your right heel, do the same for your left side. make your neck elongated and take it to the back.

stay in this pose for as long as you can

Do not do this if you happen to have:

Spinal or neck injury

·        Low blood pressure

·       Pregnancy

The camel pose is also known as the standing forward bend or child pose (Balasana in yoga), this pose also helps stimulates circulation and it’s also….a…..great…….pose……..to…….get…….over…….stress-by improving the mind.
