YP of the Week: Half Frog Pose

This week I have chosen another pose that helps with back ache.

Ardha Bhekasana
Half Frog Pose

Cautions

• Low back, shoulder, neck issues
• Insomnia
• Migraine
• High or low blood pressure

Benefits

• Improves posture
• Stretches the entire front of the body
• Stretches the throat and deep hip flexors
• Works to strengthen the back muscles

The Bharadvaja's Twist last week left me feeling better. But I was still struggling with some back ache. This week I am going to work on stretching and strengthening my abdomen, my core. Along with using this pose that will also work in stretching my back.

Savasana or Corpse Pose is one of my favorite poses because not only does it allow me to meditate after my workout but it feels great on my back. I release all my ache into the earth, leave it behind, and wake anew. This is the pose Taylor used to finish our yoga class each week. It's a good way to leave your troubles behind.

This week I was pretty busy.

I spent a lot of time with friends after work.

I did not practice as much Yoga as I wanted.

But I did fit in a work out routine every morning before work.

I did practice my Bharadvaja's Twist.

It felt great.
I am a little off position on this position, but that is something I can work toward this week.

Happy Sunday.

Namaste.
