Yoga: Bow Pose

yoga: Bow Pose

Benefits

The slimming principle of the Bow Pose involves:

• Strengthening the flexibility and suppleness of the entire body's joints, while nourishing and massaging the spine.

• Accelerating the blood circulation in the lower body, reducing leg edema, and stretching the knee joints to make the legs more agile.

Step-by-Step Guide

1 Lie on your back with your legs extended and close together. Place your arms beside your body with palms facing down. Breathe evenly.

2 Use the strength of your waist and abdomen to slowly lift your legs upward until they are at a 90-degree angle to the ground, trying to keep your legs as straight as possible.

3 Engage your waist and abdomen muscles to extend your legs upward as much as possible, simultaneously lifting your lower back off the ground. Bend your elbows, placing your hands on your waist for support, keeping your legs perpendicular to the ground. Hold the pose for 30 seconds.

Repeat 2 Times

4 Bend your legs to lower your lower back, hips, and legs back to the ground, returning to the initial position, and relax your body.

Additional Tips

During the practice, maintain even breathing and keep your legs straight. Lower your body slowly to avoid straining your waist muscles. People with shoulder or neck issues should avoid this pose.
