Basic Yoga Asanas For Stomach
Yoga Poses (Asanas) are one of the 8 limbs of yoga practice. This includes breathwork, meditation, the Yamas and Niyamas.
The effects of asana practice are normally quite instantaneous. Then again, in some cases, asanas will reveal their real potency only after patient, long-term commitment to practice. These asanas also help pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women dispose of that intra-abdominal fat. In the process they also lower their risk for some chronic illnesses. Basic Yoga asanas for stomach include:
1. Surya Namaskar – Sun Salutation
2. Pawanmuktasana – Wind relieving pose
3. Bhujangasana – Cobra pose
4. Dhanurasana – Bow pose
5. Paschimottanasana – Seated head to knees pose
6. Uddiyana Bandha – The Abdominal Lift
7. Dandayamana-Dhanurasana – Standing Bow Pulling Pose
8. Uttanasana – Forward Bend or Extension
9. Sarvangasana – Shoulderstand
Surya Namaskar is best done in the early mornings, since the morning and evenings the sun tends to radiate more ultraviolet rays. Even in the Western world, medical practitioners are making use of suns rays as a powerful therapeutic agent. This is more so in the treatment of diseases. is a flowing process of Yoga poses and breathing techniques. It helps burn abdominal fat, lends elasticity to the spine and limbs while enhancing breathing capacity.
Essentially, Surya Namaskar consists of twelve spinal positions. Each one stretches a variety of ligaments and gives different movements to your spinal column. This is because it is bent, alternatively, forward and backward with deep breathing.
However it is important to be kind to oneself when practicing yoga. It is important to go slowly, particularly at the start. Just as importantly, listen to your body. Your body knows what it can do and how far it can go. If it your body tells you to stop, then you must stop there an d then. Never push your body. Remember that Yoga is far from a competitive sport where you earn points for tying in with a picture in a book (or on a website). If you push your body too hard, you will definitely not enjoy your practices. Further, you might even harm yourself. As far as possible, in Yoga work with an experienced and qualified teacher. You can also use books, videos and websites to supplement your classroom instruction. Above all, stick to your practices. Don’t give up too soon. Remember, practice makes perfect and you will feel better.
