What are the yoga poses for treating cervical spine?

Cervical spondylosis is a relatively common disease among modern people. Since people who work at a desk for a long time have less time for activity, they often feel numbness and discomfort in the cervical spine, which is a sign of cervical spondylosis. If you want to relieve cervical spondylosis, you can actually choose yoga, which can also achieve the effect of self-cultivation, weight loss and fitness. So, what are the yoga poses for treating cervical spondylosis? You may want to take 10 minutes every day to complete the following poses.

Wolf Stretch:

Support your body with your hands and toes, stretch your legs as much as possible, tilt your head back when you inhale, fully stretch the front of your neck, and keep your arms perpendicular to the ground. When you exhale, slowly relax your head and return to its normal position.

Function: This posture can fully stretch the 26 spinal cord segments, stimulate the connection between the brain and spinal cord, and is very helpful for nourishing the brain.

Pug pose:

Stretch your legs straight and spread them as far apart as possible, bend your upper body down, support your body with your hands, and keep your back stretched. When inhaling, stretch your arms vertically and lift your head up. When exhaling, use the top of your head, elbows and feet as gravity support points to keep your waist and back stretched. If you find it too difficult, bend your legs slightly to reduce the pressure on the ligaments.

Function: stretch the waist and back.

Diamond fish pose:

Kneel on the floor, place your hands on your thighs, and inhale. Exhale and slowly lean your body backward until the top of your head gradually touches the ground, and put your hands together in front of your chest.

Function: Stretches the muscles of the spine, neck and back.

Bull Face pose:

Sit on the floor with your legs crossed, your knees aligned, and your feet next to your hips on opposite sides. Clasp your hands behind your back and keep your back straight. If this is difficult, you can grab a towel with both hands to achieve the same effect.

Function: Correct the cervical vertebrae and spine, expand the chest, relax the shoulder joints, and stretch the latissimus dorsi muscles.

Turtle Movement:

The two movements of breathing are like a turtle poking its head out of its shell. Open your knees, sit up straight, and curl your calves back to the base of your thighs; lean forward, open your palms, and when you inhale, move your cervical spine and lift your chin. When you exhale, bring your chin closer to your chest, focusing the movement on your neck.

Function: The Tortoise Pose mainly exercises the flexibility of the cervical spine. It is also very helpful for shaping the neck line and eliminating double chins.

Ostrich pose:

Spread your legs shoulder-width apart, bend over, and place your hands under the soles of your feet, so that your palms are connected to them. Raise your head when you inhale, and slowly relax when you exhale.

Function: This pose can improve cervical fatigue and can be done together with the pug pose.
