Best Daily Yoga Pose to Reduce Spinal Curve

RISHIKESH, India - March 5, 2018 - PRLog -- AYM provides its students with all level of yoga courses meant for beginners, intermediate and advances yoga practitioners. The nervous system gathers stores and controls the body's information with the help of the spine. The spine allows the body to analyze itself and initiate the proper response, which the central nervous system sends to the other parts of the body. But when the spine is misaligned, it can throw the entire body into disarray.

In some cases, sitting for too long can cause serious compression of the entire spinal structure. Problems, due to sitting for too long, happen slowly; and most people do not realize it is happening until they begin to feel pain from it. However, through yoga asanas, you can lengthen, strengthen and stretch your spine back into alignment and return to a proper state of health.

Yoga poses to reduce spinal curve
Bhujangasana (Cobra pose):

Bhujangasana strengthens the lower back and shoulders and increases the flexibility of the spine and the spinal muscles. To assume this posture, lie down with your belly on the floor, your toes touching together and your hands lying on the side. Place your face on the floor looking straight in such a manner that your chin touches the floor.

Bring your hands to the shoulder level, with your palms touching the floor. Then place your toes and palms on the ground. Slowly raise your trunk and head, by pressing your palms on the floor. Ensure that the arms are bent at the elbows. Try and hold this asana for a few seconds in the beginning. Later you can go up to two minutes as you progress.

Ustrasana (Camel pose):

Ustrasana helps to correct rounded back and also opens up the chest and shoulders. To assume the posture, you will have to kneel down on your knees with your thighs about hip-width apart.

Start to lean backward slowly, reaching behind you for your feet. Go as far as you are comfortable with. Ensure that you do not tilt backward at your thighs and keep them in a vertical position. Try and stay in this pose for 30-60 seconds and then return up slowly and rest.

Matsyasana (Fish Pose):

Matsyasana helps to strengthen the upper back muscles and improve your posture. To assume this pose, you will have to lie down with your legs straight and together with your toes pointed outwards. Then place your palms down under your buttocks and keep your elbows close to your body.

Lift your torso off the floor but keep most of the weight on your elbow. Rest either the top or back of your head gently on the floor, keeping your face and neck relaxed. Breathe deeply for about 15 breaths. To return to the original position, lift your head slightly and lower your body back to the floor.

Dhanurasana (Bow pose):

Dhanurasana helps to strengthen the back muscles. It is also one of the best yoga asanas for correcting the stooping of the back and reducing the spinal curvature. To assume this posture, lie down on your belly with your feet hip-width apart and your arms on the side of the body. Breathe normally and relax.

Exhale and bend your knees backward, bringing your heels as close as you can to the buttocks. Arch your head and neck upwards and backward. Reach back with your hands and hold your ankles to complete the asana. Then pull up your legs with your hands.

Expand your chest, arching your head and trunk backward and upwards. While in this position, your body shape will look like a bow. Try and hold the asana for as long as possible. Thus, these are some of the yoga poses that focus on the back and spine and promote a healthier posture to reduce spinal curve.
