Meridian Yoga Exercises
explained
Exercise description
With the backward bend you can easily harmonize your conception vessel. Stand upright and support yourself with your hands on your lower back. Then push your pelvis forward so that the upper body makes a backward bend. Make sure that you do not overextend your head too much.
You will now feel a stretch along the front of the body. This corresponds to the KG that you open during the following breaths.
Frequently asked questions
What can I do if my back is not so flexible?
In this case, you do the rotation only to a very small extent. In this case, pay special attention to deep abdominal breathing. This will relax your back muscles via the diaphragm.
Does this exercise help with back problems?
In case of acute back problems, these should always be clarified by a doctor. Otherwise, this exercise is very helpful in solving back problems, but also as prevention.
