first your forehead second your chin third your chest so you have to keep like making a wafer so you have to remove the head neck third chest then your abdomen then your pelvis and again round and step-by-step and at the same time keep breathing huh and what with the foot um as i told you in the beginning try to keep dividing your weight equallyΒ 

so it’s easier for you to balance her otherwise you’ll be like falling backward to the sideways okay so go with the partner this this this your abdomen your pelvis and then again back to the center and make a video okay uh we’ll do for 30 seconds huh just free your spine and just move now first your head your chin

and this nice come to the abdomen your pelvis and now make a big hunch and back to the center and keep removing it nice okay after 30 seconds or you can come back to the center huh nice okay now let’s move to the posture now do camel pose one by one on your own mat then see how to do it with proper alignment so we start with mahima

those who have back injuries they can avoid huh it’s okay just place your hands here nice now nice nice nice next nice nice okay nice okay so on it’s a general questions huh on which part of the spine you feel like more pressure while doing this yeah obviously on the lower back okay um so in the beginning as i told you like uh this is the more heart opening posture but still people try to tend to bend from the lower back

okay so that’s how you feel more pressure because as you know uh our lower back is more flexible part of our spine which already has a natural arch here and then again you are trying to compressing it so that’s how it feels like more pressure on the lower back so uh in Ustrasana you have to bend from the upper region of the third operation of the chest and how there are some shoulder action you have to maintain

and then let’s see how okay uh so as i told you uh this is a more likely hard opening portion or the lower one uh so how to open your heart so there are three shoulder action you have to maintain the first one is um what is this the external rotation of the shoulders uh it allow to open its chest more wider and the second one is our retraction of a scapula as you retract your scapula you see how automatically your heart is lifting up and the third one is uh depression of your scapula okay so in the beginning

you have to go for elevation of your scapula and then depression of your scripture see what happened just this as you know this is the depression of scapula uh try to retract your scapula squeeze a blade together and see this is your limit huh this is your range of motion okay and relax now elevate your scapula and now try to retract see how while doing elevation there’s much i can easily open my heart at the same time

but in depression this is my limit i can’t go more forward but in elevation you can open your heart more wider so first as you’re entering in the pose go for elevation and as you’re done with the elevation depress it down okay so let’s start and one more thing about the lower part so as we know this is more likely that stretch should be filled here but when you go in the pose uh as you see your buttocks come together and it roll your thighs outward okay

so our main purpose is we have to maintain our thigh in a neutral position so uh it’s better to uh try not to squeeze your buttock huh try not to squeeze your buttock while going in the camel pose and rotate your thigh outward so main purpose is uh just release your buttocks as it is in a natural position try not to squeeze them okay and how uh so we’ll start with like this and just see first generally

we start the portion like this we align our knees and all and as you go for the push you see how this goes turn outward so we’ll do the opposite thing huh open like more wider and relax so see as I’m doing this thing right now my thighs are going to the internal rotation they are not in a natural position natural position is like the neutral

one as I’m doing this one my thighs are running outward so we’ll do the opposite huh go for this one down in uh in an internal position right now from here you have to place your hand on your over your heel like this so right now they are in a natural position there is no external rotation right now so what you have to do uh bring your awareness to your shoulders uh or to the ribcage try to lift your ribcage up suck your belly in

and you know to the shoulders roll the shoulders to the outward so see as you as I roll my shoulder outward my fingers are pointing to the back one okay now as you are done with this part elevate your scalp and retract your scapula as much as you can and keep lifting your ribcage up huh it’s more likely this not this so as I’m doing this one I’m bending from the lower back

as you’re doing this when you’re lifting the ribcage up and then trying to bend from the upper ring okay so the purpose is you have to suck and lift same thing not this one huh rotate suck and bend so we’ll see honestly stuff so the leg should be outward your palm goes harder okay like this huh and

now release your hands on the heels so this is the first action huh make sure your heels are outward and now from here um first try to roll your shoulders out no not nice and the second action is try to retract your scapula as much as you can and suck your belly in and now bring your awareness to the ribcage lift up see now she’s trying to bend from the upper region not from the lower back nice okay

see uh this is how you bend from the lower back there’s no movement of the ribcage there’s no movement of the scapula just you are trying to bend it from the lower back so do the same thing uh place your hands on the heels roll it out right here next squeeze and now suck your belly in and lift your ribcage height more more nice as you are done with your range of motion now from here you have to tuck your tailbone in tuck your tailbone in just check in and go forward

okay and see as he’s going forward against his bending from the lower back so while going forward while moving forward make sure you have to maintain the ribcage upward huh keep it lifting up like this okay keep lifting it as high as you can and now again retract open heart and make sure uh thighs should be aligned or so your hip bone should be aligned with your knee not too much forward or not too much

backward again now you can see her this thigh are in a neutral position right now they are not moving outward and they are not moving inward okay now again bring your awareness to the ribcage keep lifting up suck your belly in inhale keep rotating your scapula and now from here as you’re done with this part without losing your ribcage slowly relax your shoulders down and exhale look up

okay try not to lose your head down huh otherwise it comprise your cervical spine stay there breathe in and as you exhale how to come out from the posture go in the same way back and slowly drop your hip down and exhale come and go for the child pose and relax
