Hey so it's #YogaSaturday and it is a little awkward...actually today's yoga pose is known as the "Awkward" pose! It is a beginner balancing pose that promotes overall body strength by opening up the pelvis, tones leg muscles, relieves menstrual cramps (for the ladies), improves flexibility in the toes and ankles, and good for sciatica and arthritis conditions. Today's #yoga pose is the Reverse Table. This is a beginner level pose that involves creating an inverted U with your body, making the table. I lifted my head up here to see I was in good form, but usually you lay your head back with this pose. The Reverse Table strengthens your arms, wrists, and legs, while also stretches your shoulders, chest, and front ankles. Today's #yoga pose is called the Goddess. This is a beginner pose that involves having your feet wide apart and bending your knees as well as lowering into a squat. The #Goddess pose strengthens your glutes, hips, thighs, calves, and ankles (basically your lower body). Also opens the hips and the chest as well as elongates the spine. Today's #yoga pose is the Half Boat. This is a beginner pose that strengthens the abdomen, hip flexors, and spine. The Half Boat also stimulates the kidneys, thyroid, prostate glands and intestines, helps relieve stress and improves digestion. Today's yoga pose is the #standingforwardbend (best to my ability without hurting myself). Some of the benefits of this pose include the following: Stretches the hamstrings, calves, and hips. Strengthens thighs and knees. Improves digestion. Reduces fatigue and anxiety. Today's yoga pose is the Downward Dog! This pose has the following benefits: Calms the brain and helps relieve stress and mild depression Energizes the body Stretches the shoulders, hamstrings, calves, arches, and hands Strengthens the arms and legs Helps relieve the symptoms of menopause Relieves menstrual discomfort when done with head supported Helps prevent osteoporosis Improves digestion Relieves headache, insomnia, back pain, and fatigue Therapeutic for high blood pressure, asthma, flat feet, sciatica, sinusitis When I started doing this pose I wasn't able to keep my feet flat on the floor, but after repetition and my body strengthening it is getting a lot better! 💪💪💪 Today's yoga pose is the Cat-Cow pose. It is a gentle flow between two poses that both warms the body and brings flexibility to the spine. The Cat-Cow pose stretches the back torso and neck, as well as strengthens the abdominal organs. This pose brings postural awareness and balance throughout the body |
