The balance is an important, but often underestimated part of your physical activity. Nevertheless, the practice of maintaining balance not only improves mobility, but also reduces the risk of injuries and serious health problems, including premature death.
To improve your balance, you must include in training exercises in balance, which can be done even in everyday life. The fact that yoga exercises are effective for preventing age -related changes in the body, it was said in “eat this”, and not on that.
From wood
Standing in a mountain pose, move the weight to the left leg, lift the right knee to the stomach and open it to the right, preserving the balance. Stretch the spine, relax your shoulders, face and neck, holding the posture at 5-8 breaths. Repeat gradually from the other side.
Outside the borders of the eagle
Raise your arms, breathing in, and then exhale, lower them, overlapping your right hand with your left. Move the weight in the left leg, lift the right knee to the stomach, slightly bending your left leg and squeeze your right leg with your left foot. Keep posture for 5-8 breaths, and then return up the mountain. Repeat on the other side.
Balanced a crescent
Start with a warrior II, posing on the right side. Then move the weight in the right leg, inhaling and put the right hand on the floor or yoga-block, about 15 cm diagonally from the right leg. Raise your left leg horizontally and keep the pose for several breaths. Exhale and return to the II warrior, then repeat on the other side.
The perverted balance of the crescent
Start with a mountain pose, move the weight to the right leg, inhaling and connect your hands in front of the chest. Raise the left knee, exhaling and tilting the body forward, straightening the left leg to the level of the horizon. Put your hands on the floor or yoga block, make sure that the hips remain even, and the back leg is active. Stay in a pose for several breaths, and then lower your right hand. Return to the center and gradually stand up. Repeat on the other side.
Outside the warrior III
Start with a mountain pose, connecting your hands in front of the chest. Move the weight in the right leg and in your breath raise your left knee to your stomach. Exhaling, tilt the body forward and raise your left leg until it becomes parallel. Extend your hands or put them on a yoga block to support. Keep the body active and even the hips, hold the posture for several breaths. Then breathe, turn your hands into the center and lower your left leg. Repeat on the other side.
Outside the chair
Stand in a mountain pose. Inhale, bend both knees and raise your arms. Exhaling, lower your hips back, as if you were sitting on a chair, moving the weight on your feet and lift the heels. Keep a pose for several breaths, and then lower the heels to the floor. Level your legs and lower your arms.
From the boat
Sit down, lean back, bend your knees and raise your legs from the floor. Raise your legs to the ceiling and stretch your arms forward or hug your hips with your hands. For additional support, you can put your hands near your hips. Keep the pose, performing 5-8 deep breaths and exhalations.
