YOGA Terms and postions
The Child pose is one of my favorites it is one of the easiest poses but very useful and relaxing. To do the child pose you would need to first from a standing position bend down and sit on your knees. When sitting on your knees you place both arms up and over your head and slowly bend down until your head is on the mat. At this point your arms and head should be flat on the mat and then you slowly move your hips down so that you are completely sitting back on your knees and your arms are stretched out in front of you. If you are doing this pose correctly you will feel a stretch on your forearms and shoulders and mostly your lower back and latissimus dorsi. This also relaxes your spine because we primarily stand most of the day this takes the tension off of our backs. Other muscles that are used in this pose are you quadriceps and hamstrings because you are putting pressure on your legs. You should also feel your lower back expanding because this pose basically forces you to breath threw your lower back and stomach. This allows you to truly get into a deep breathing rhythm and it is so relaxing. I like this pose a lot becau
se those deep breaths are so relaxing that they could put you to sleep. The chin should be pressed against the chest. Place the palms face-down on the floor. This pose helps you gain balance on both of your legs. Inhale slowly through the nostrils, press down on the hands and lift your torso from the waist up off the floor, arching the spine backwards and straightening the arms. Balancing on the left foot, raise both arms over the head keeping the elbows unbent and joining the palms together. The legs should be together with the knees straight and toes pointed straight up. I find it just easier when I place my hands together I can center myself way easier. The standing position I used was the Vriksha-asana or tree pose. Many people do not have the balance or concentration to stay in such an awkward pose like this one. This pose you start standing up, you initially start with a deep breath with both hands at your side, Then Bend the right leg at the knee, raise the right thigh and bring the sole of the right foot as high up the inside of the left thigh as u possible can without loosing your balance. This pose is very useful it sends blood to your brain and relieves headaches and takes allot of pressure off of your lower back. Inhale, and then while exhaling, raise the legs straight up perpendicular to the floor. The supine pose I chose was the Savanga-asana or shoulder stand. It is important to breathe and be relaxed during this pose.
