NEW! Pose of the Week tutorial video + instructional photos - Ustrasana Pose 🧘🏾‍♀️ (Patreon)

Blessings Nude Yogis 🙏🏽

We're back with our first POSE OF THE WEEK tutorial for 2022!

This week's Pose of the Week is 'Ustrasana Pose', aka 'Camel Pose'.

With February being the month of 'Valentine's Day', and with this month's theme of 'self-love', I thought it would be really  lovely to take you through this beautiful heart/chest-opener and backbend. 

It is a beginner-intermediate level pose, but I go through various modifications for those of you who may be new to backbends or for those of you who would like a more gentle version of the pose. Remember, you never have to feel like you have to do the full expression of a pose. 

Listen to your body and respect where it is at. 

Some great preparatory poses include:

• cat/cow - folder 6
• extended puppy pose (uttana shishosana) - folder 36
• sphinx pose (Salamba Bhujangasana) - folder 38

Benefits of this pose can include:

• stretches your entire front body 
• stretches the ankles, thighs, groin, abdomen, chest, neck, throat 
• stretches the hip flexors and psoas
• strengthens the back muscles 
• improves posture 
• stimulates the organs of the abdomen and the neck 
• opens the chest

Be sure to have a look through the instructional photos also.

⚠️PLEASE PRACTICE WITH CAUTION/OR AVOID IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:⚠️

• avoid if you high or low blood pressure 
• avoid if you're suffering with a migraine 
• avoid if you have any lower back and/or neck injuries 
• if you have any knee issues, feel free to use a blanket beneath for extra support and cushioning
