Yoga: The maintenance of good posture and the muscles of the chest in good condition
Let's start with the maintenance of good posture and the muscles of the chest in good condition. And help us in this yoga.
Good posture - it is always nice. In most cases posture is an indication that its owner monitors their own health. As you know, preserve the flexibility of the spine extends his youth, and this means the absence of many diseases.
Recall that the involve in carrying out multiple muscle groups.
Step One: Warm -
1. Stand up straight, feet fully on the floor. Muscles tightened, his shoulders straightened and freely omitted, the muscles of the abdomen, back, legs stretched, the chest is fully straightened, chin parallel to the floor, the spine is fully extended. On the inhale lift your hands up, joining hands straightened arms above his head. The hands are drawn up, feet stay on the floor. Stay in this position for several respiratory cycles. On the exhale, lower hands along the body ( mountain pose). Repeat several times.
Step Two: Base
2. Legs wide apart, his arms raise and breed in the hand, feet parallel to each other, palms parallel to the floor, back straight. On the exhale, maintaining posture, bend to the right, sliding his hand along a straight right leg. Save the position for several respiratory cycles. On inspiration to return to the starting position and repeat the exercise to the left - pose an elongated triangle). Repeat several times.
3. Stand up straight, feet fully on the floor. Muscles tightened, his shoulders straightened and freely omitted, the muscles of the abdomen, back, legs stretched, the chest is fully straightened, chin parallel to the floor, the spine is fully extended. On the inhale lift your hands up, joining hands straightened arms above his head. Start to squat until thighs are parallel to the floor. Thus the spin must remain straight and if possible not to lean forward. Hands are drawn up. Wait a few breathing cycles. On inspiration to return to its original position - pose rage).
4. Exercise from a prone position. Lie on the floor face down, arms stretch forward, his legs are joined together. On the inhale bend the elbows and place palms on the level of the hips. Raise the upper half of the body, straightening arms. Maximum gently bend back. The legs should remain straight and tense. Rib cage is fully expanded. Stay in that position for several respiratory cycles (cobra pose). Repeat several times.
5. We should sit on the floor, legs outstretched. First, bend the right leg at the knee, grab the foot with his hands and put it on the left thigh, the heel should ideally be near the navel. Then the same thing done with the left foot. Back should remain straight. The left hand to lift up, bend at the elbow and put his hand along the spine, palm down. His right hand bend at the elbow and put his hand up between his shoulder blades. Throw in his hand. The back is still straight. Chest is expanded, but not bulging forward. Stay in this position for several respiratory cycles (a combination - lotus posture and - poses a cow). Then change the hand position.
6. Remaining sit on the floor with your legs crossed and leaning back, slowly lie down on the floor with his back, chest upwards. Try to put your hands on the floor behind her head, stretching them. Stay in this position for several respiratory cycles - fish pose).
Step Three: relaxed
7. Sit on the floor, legs outstretched. Bend the left leg at the knee, hands to take a foot and put it right thigh. Bend the right leg at the knee, hands to take a foot and put it on his left ankle so that the heel was directed upward and the toes were left thigh. Hands placed on his feet - back of the hand touch the knees. Keep free breathing (attitude wise).
8. Lie on your back and totally relax. Brushes should be based on your palms up. Heels together, toes apart. Close eyes (corpse pose).
Complex of exercises takes time no more than 30-40 minutes. All should be done smoothly and slowly, when an uncomfortable occupation must end. It is worth mentioning that try yoga can a person of any age, but he must be sure that it has no contraindications. In addition, you can not immediately require a precise implementation of, accuracy is achieved in the training process. Can master the first one exercise and then connect them to the complex.

Additional description Utthita Trikonasana
In contrast to the approach Iyengar yoga, where everything is done too abruptly, tear, quickly, I do not recommend a "standing" asanas to put legs to the starting position jump, nor would advise you to jump back to its original position. In fact, these Macropod manners in the classical practice, completely out of place. Sharp movements in addition initiate a consciousness, and the already overheated reality, and the challenge of yoga - to balance it, so all the movements during the transition from posture to posture should be unhurried, relaxed and soft that people are not leaping around, moving jerkily, like Pinocchio in a bad cartoon.
So, let us turn to the formulation of the feet. In all positions, which are carried out "standing", the foot always oriented so that foot is feet, to which we bend (or in the direction which makes an attack, that is, bend the knee) was placed in the plane of the legs and torso, that is was directed sideways, parallel to the wall, if we stand back to her. The other foot is always formed with the first only an acute angle from 45 ° to about 70 *. During the execution of any "standing" posture soles of both feet must be held tightly to the floor, which is achieved not at once.
Moreover, the School of Iyengar insists that they were pressed to the floor so close to the body weight distributed on the surface of each foot evenly, virtually no distinction in its individual sections. Only then will a certain point in the center of the foot, which they call "eye of God Burg, supposedly, will be closely in touch with a support surface that characterizes the necessary state and position of the feet.
This, of course, "aerobatics", which I think only confusing for a beginner just have to resolve several mutually exclusive issues. In addition to keeping his feet in full contact with the floor in Utthita Trikonasane, legs should be straight in the knees and a cup of their sunken top. The trunk also went down to the side, located in a vertical plane, which you control for touch backs.
All these endless details, petty, non-essential requirements and nuances of the system allow Iyengar yoga at least something to talk about asanas but bare description of their geometry which, especially in the "standing" postures, it is extremely easy and fast to remember. Of detail given here is important because attention should be involved in something to do with no real meaning on the one hand - and distracted from his search for the proposed, scanty indeed information - on the other.
Typically, flexible middle-aged man, unfamiliar with yoga, very mediocre. Not only that by hand floor "Trikonasanah - an elusive goal, but also the knees drawn disgusting, and the torso turns, - what can I do?
First: all the "standing" asanas should be performed, as I said, at the wall. Iyengar in 1989, said in a joking manner, but quite seriously, that the "standing" poses a wall - the best teacher, and here he is absolutely right.
So, we camped in a vertical plane so that the foot is feet, to which we have gathered to bend, was at a distance of 10-15 cm from the wall and parallel to it. Then the heel of opposite foot - at the turn to the desired angle - will touch the wall. Setting foot in such a way to advance a certain width, I begin with an exhalation lower torso to one side, say - to the right. In this case, both shoulder blades do not lose contact with the wall, especially the upper left, which should not come off or an inch.
It is so moving down until such time as no one in his ribs or resistance in the leg, which I omitted. As soon as the difficulty appeared and feel - no matter where! - Became apparent I must, pushing (which is convenient, but possibly vertically, not diagonally) with his right hand in his right leg the same (with shoulder blades pressed against the wall) and distributed on the part of her body weight, stay in a position to direct the knees and stretched string (but without too much stress!) feet - while the body is relaxed! The upper arm goes to the zenith, the bottom - the nadir.
That is, although it rests on the leg or the floor, but perpendicular to the latter. At the same time I done it head to the left so that, without straining his neck to look at your left thumb, which is located at the top. In this position, I watch the breath in his nostrils, stomach completely relaxed. Again, pay attention to the above subtlety: if the legs are too relaxed, then any "standing" asana will be unstable. As adaptation to these postures should be phased out from the wall, firmly stand on its own feet. To control can only slightly touch her back, and then perform the asanas without any support and the support.
On the other hand and foot strain is a mistake, leading to the fact that together with them in an unacceptable degree of "capture the" minds and the whole body, and it is not nothing but a spurious work that is entirely unnecessary and a hindrance to the faithful execution of postures and all practices in general. Therefore need to "catch" a sector of the intensity of the tension leg, so that they remain sufficiently rigid, immutable structure, and the torso and it was capable of the most relaxing, while in the belt, it can be freely bent or twisted. Thus we come to the polar nature of the load regime of the body: all working in Asana - strained only to the extent necessary, minimally, with no excesses, it is not involved - relaxed to such an extent as possible.
In Utthita Trikonasanu should bend to exhale, to breathe freely and in a pose with the breath to rise to its original position so that the rate of flexion-extension not to shoot down the respiratory regularity and quiet. This requirement dictates a slow motion at the entrance of the posture and exit them.
So - when bent, exhale, inhale free - and we again breathe normally, calmly, relaxed and at ease, but being in this position

Healthy back Yoga
If the muscles are asked to "static" to maintain long-standing posture, according to a principle of economy (contracts to stay with the lowest energy), tend to change their structure. Part of the elastic fibers are replaced by inelastic fibrous tissue that creates a constant retraction and compresses the articular structures, particularly those of the spine. Begin to appear as discomfort and pain in the long run, lead to diseases more or less serious back pain, cervicalgie, sciatica, hernias and protrusions of the disc.
Chains muscle
In practice, almost all very stressed sull'allungamento of posterior thigh muscles (ischio-crurali). Not a bad idea, it is important to note that the muscles and tissues miofasciali rear, from a functional point of view, are arranged in a "chain static back muscle" which includes the ischio-crurali. In practice we can imagine them as a single muscle that connects the occiput (back of skull) with the plants and your toes. This means that when we try to stretch every mismatch in antero-posterior or lateral, as well as any action and not comprehensive, the results will give little or no global sull'elasticità . E 'as the famous covered too short: if pulling toward the feet find the head and back.
Multifunctionality
The muscles of the static poliarticolari (ie, interest in general, with their action, two or more joints) and provide multiple functions. For example, in stabilizing the knee in extension, in latero-flexion and rotation between the femur and tibia. This allows multiple functions to these muscles to express retraction in a less favorable as possible. The retraction of ischio-crurali often manifests itself in an upright position with a ro-tation of the inner leg, often accompanied by a knee hyperesthesia (imbalances little debilitating for static).
Be careful a. ..
Supta Padangusthasana is one of the most interesting to improve the chain elasticit static back muscle. Compared to similar positions in feet (Padahastasana) or sessions (Paschimottanasana), allows for better control, thanks to the ground, the compensation level of the spine. On the basis of the foregoing it will be interesting to fix all the possible compensations to maintain the elongated neck without tightening, hold the lumbar region and sacro support, pay special attention to the alignment of the leg or legs raised; avoid any internal or external rotation (the patella should remain perpendicular to the axis of the leg); avoid any compensation at the level of the foot in supine or pronazione (respectively slope of the foot inward and outward), keep a large breathing, paying special attention to nell'espirazione again completely without chest shorten the neck, thus avoiding inspiratory partial blocks of the diaphragm (which also has a static non-negligible).
The aid of a strap passed on the soles of the feet will allow many to avoid tension and blocks in the upper back muscles (upper trapezius in particular). The most severe back pain, especially chronic ones, are in need of examination and intervention of a specialist, maintaining the elasticity of the chain static muscle can solve the small hassle and stabilize the situation after any therapeutic intervention
Curves Health Yoga
Towards the three years begins to appear a slight lordosis (curvature of a convex front) in the lumbar region, which stabilizes in more or less final, as the resulting curves and cervical dorsal, to eight years. The evolution of the traces in this way, in a sense, that of the species. The transition from quadruped position to standing resulted in first and then straighten the inversion of the curve in the lumbar section. This process does not seem to have completed a level of the basin, which maintains some degree of anterior tilt, which must be compensated by the lumbar lordosis. Here's how to explain both the lumbar lordosis and resulting curves normal (dorsal kyphosis, cervical lordosis), which vary depending on the position of the pelvis from one individual to another.
In adults, the vertebral column presents four curves:
- Sacrum: a convex posterior hard because the vertebrae that form the sacred bone are welded together
- Lumbar spine: a convex front
- Dorsal: a convex posterior
- Neck: a convex front
As the muscles respond
Balance and tension of muscles and ligaments of the trunk is organized according to the spinal curves. If we look at the areas where the muscles tend to be more "short", and tonic too inelastic, and where the muscle is usually little tonic and perhaps too "stretched", we can see that the first situation corresponds to areas of the concave curves (lumbar and cervical), and the second to the convex (dorsal and sacral). We can represent the relationship between muscles and column imagining a bow: the muscles are stretched the rope, ready to incoccare an arrow, which maintains the curvature of the arch, ie the column. From these observations we can draw useful insights applicable to our practice, for example in the creation of positions of extension (bending back) of the spine.
From a muscle will be more sensible to try to "open" areas that are prone to closure, relaxing and stretching muscles generally short and retracted, and not seek the extension of facilities and too little tonic "stretched". From one point of view and vertebral joints, efforts to improve mobility in areas of extension to rear convexity (dorsal and sacral), while avoiding too much to ask zones lordosis (anterior convexity, especially lumbar), often already too mobile and curved in such positions.
Analyzing such Ustrasana will be judicious in the position:
- Urging the opening of the inguinal region while maintaining the pelvis in retroversion (wider coxo-femoral joints, stretching the hip flexor muscles: ileum-psoas and femoral quadriceps);
- Urging the opening of the chest and shoulders (extension of the dorsal part of the column, pectoral muscle lengthening);
- Avoid accentuating the arcuazione tract of the lumbar column (and especially buttocks kept upright abdominal tonic and shortened).
As for the cervical region, the speech is a bit more complex: the best solution nell'arretrare first time in a neck and head together, keeping the neck stretch (thus facilitating the mobility of the back area and prevent compression of the cervical unpleasant) ; letting go of the head back at a later time.
More effort more benefits
Our actions, in practice as well as in everyday life, are determined by how we conceive mentally. If we think of Ustrasana as a movement, we inevitably tend to use the line of least resistance, bending, where the structures, often unbalanced in that direction, against less resistance in this case emphasizing the lumbar lordosis at the expense welfare of the spine. If we try to conceive, instead, as a movement forward, where the closed areas may open, the situation may be radically different.
Choose the path of least resistance, as in practice in daily life, it can immediately simplify things. But lacking the ability to operate a real change in the patterns of physical and psychological stress, strengthening the already existing imbalances and depriving them of future possibilities of a better balance.

Yoga-Tips for the Mind
Meditation is the state where the mind abandons the quest for joy hidden behind each time. The objectives of the mind and purpose of meditation are so antithetical. Do not be surprised, then, to discover that the attempt to pacify the mind and cause distraction irrequiettezza. What to do then? There are several ways, each of which leads to different levels of awareness.
Abandoned to the pleasure
First, there is the meditative state that arises spontaneously whenever we are engaged in something that we like. In this case it is the activity that calms the mind without effort, assimilating the present moment and opening it to increased awareness of life.
Make silence inside yourself
Ce'è then intentional meditation, which is expected to remain seated (or paths) in silence to calm the mind and detach from its normal activities. To reach this state is necessary to focus on an object, a sound (a mantra), its breath, or "observed" thoughts without getting involved.
The third way
Another technique suggests the Tantra, which offers some important alternatives to the meditative practices more common. Instead of calming the mind or detachment, the calling to do what she likes most: moving. The focus then follows a specific path until the mind is not calm spontaneously.
Show your breath
Finally there is the pranashuddhi, meditative version of pranayama, which is to mentally breathe will rotate through the nostrils. Instead of physically closing one nostril at a time, it displays the respirocome a stream that flows first attrevsro one nostril and then the other, which has as its point of arrival on the third eye, the part of the brain associated with the intuitive wisdom and spiritual vision. The Rishi (ancient seers) discovered that when the flow is balanced, the two parts of the brain are in harmony and calm the mind.
You can use this method, extremely simple and accessible at all times, both as a full practice or as preparation for meditation.

Yoga for back
You can repeat many times as you like, how bad for the modern man lack of exercise, long-term position with virtually no traffic during the work day. Nevertheless, most people running in a fitness club only as a result of attack And I have it, it turns out there is?! , certainly not during exacerbation and after it.
Well, now everyone knows the structure of the spine: it is composed of individual vertebrae separated by discs are located, and within the spinal column runs the spinal cord, through which the nerve endings regulates the work of all the internal organs. So what damage the normal function of a part of the spine and internal organs suffer in particular.
Most of the problems of the spine occur in humans due to abrasion of cartilage tissue of discs. With age or due to negative influences, both internal and external, cartilage tissue loses water, which gives them flexibility. If more precise, not the water itself provides this feature, and its complex with acid and protein... Moreover, the same pattern seen in other tissues, the skin, for example. Thus, loss of cartilage tissue with the ability to retain water discs become brittle, inelastic, losing such an important function of shock isolation ... and the distance between the vertebrae is reduced, contributing to their deformation and the appearance of pain. In addition, the cartilaginous tissue formed cavities, which slowly filled with salts of calcium - which is why joints are the property of crunch.
If the damage of the joints talk about osteoarthritis, with preferential damage to cartilage tissues of discs - on. These phenomena are so widespread that it seems that even very young people are familiar with them firsthand.
It is noteworthy that these changes are reversible only slowly, as if they were there a long time, the process of treatment a challenge. In the main emphasis is on painkillers from the group non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (acetylsalicylic acid, sodium, ibuprofen belongs to this group of drugs), but in recent years and designate the funds that can affect the metabolism in tissues of the spine, including cartilage.
But of great importance and availability of sports load in a person's life. Some drugs are not here to help. The doctors are very great importance is attached to the treatment techniques of physiotherapy and therapeutic gymnastics. And one of the easiest methods includes exercises based on yogic asana.
For the spine primarily beneficial all standing asana. They are quite simple in execution; you need only pay attention to the peculiarities of their implementation, the indication of which muscles should be stretched. For example, in their implementation must be to have to not only tone the back muscles, abdominal muscles and press your feet.
