Chandrasana
Moon Pose - This is what we call one of the "anti-gravity"
postures. Studies show that gravity is the single most powerful
physical stress on the body. In this case, instead of hanging upside
down, we're using the back and shoulder muscles to elongate and
decompress, and counter the effects of gravity on your spine. This
is a great pose to do anytime you have been seated in your car or
at a desk for extended periods of time 30 minutes or more. This
is a very basic but very beneficial pose. I recommend that you do
not lean too far back, no more than a 45 degree angle to the vertical
standing position. When you reach up to the sky also make sure that
your heals are firmly grounded. your feet should also be slightly
webbed at the toes. |
