In addition, it is highly recommended to use a yoga mat or other soft surface when playing these Asana. Shoulder Stand This is a panacea well known for people, almost all human illnesses. Don't panic. It's very easy to do, but use it with caution, depending on the severity of the case. Place a thick blanket on the floor and place a yoga mat on it. Lie on your back and slowly raise your legs raise your torso, hips, and legs to a vertical position. Place your elbows firmly on the floor and support your back with both hands. Raise your legs until they are vertical. Press your chin against your chest. The neck, back of the head, and shoulders must be in contact with the floor when performing this pose. (I can assure you what you say: Hey, have I done this as a kid, is this yoga?) Breathe into 555 (suck, hold), spit out. Do not shake your body. Now, try incorporating the following as a counter pose for the shoulder stand. Bridge Pose (Seth Bandanna): From the position of the shoulder stand, straighten your feet and slowly touch the floor with your feet. It is done to bend the spine in the opposite direction. Fish Pose (Mat's Asana): Lying on your back. Straighten your feet, place your hands under your thighs, and point your palms down. Use your elbows to lift your chest, bend your neck as far back as possible, and place it on the top of your head. Recommended Period: Try to time these three poses using the following ratios: 6: 1: 2 that is, the fish pose is held in the shoulder pose for one-third of the time, and the bridge pose is held in the fish pose for half the time (or one-sixth of the shoulder). Alternatively, you can omit the bridge pose and use a 2: 1 ratio (shoulder stand and fish pose), but only if you are doing the parent pose (shoulder stand) for a few seconds. I recommend it.
