Be a "snake beauty" to be favored for life

Women seem to be born with an inextricable relationship with snakes. There are beautiful snakes in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, the Legend of the White Snake records the affectionate White Snake, and the stunning monster Medusa in Greek mythology had snakes as hair... Even in real life, when describing a graceful woman, people would say she has a "snake waist". In short, if a woman is described with words containing the word "snake", whether it is a compliment or criticism, it at least proves that she is still quite pretty.

There is a classic "Cobra Pose" in the Yoga pose, which seems to be created specifically for women! Practicing this posture regularly can turn you into a graceful and slender "snake beauty"~

Asana Benefits:

1. Increase the elasticity of the spine, reduce back pain caused by sitting for a long time, and relieve tension and stiffness in the neck and back.

2. Stimulate the blood circulation of the digestive system, have a good auxiliary therapeutic effect on indigestion, flatulence, abdominal pain and other diseases, and relieve constipation symptoms.

3. Massaging the lower abdominal organs can help regulate women's menstruation and reproductive systems. For men, this exercise can help stimulate adrenal secretion and strengthen the liver and kidneys.

4. Body shaping, stretching the abdominal muscles on the front of the body and reducing abdominal fat accumulation. At the same time, it makes the physiological curve of the waist softer and more stretched. Long-term practice can beautify the shape of the physiological curve, making the waist more graceful and the buttocks look more upright.

I won’t tell you that the leaning back position also has the effect of straightening your chest!

Note:

1. Before lifting your torso, contract your leg and gluteal muscles and press down hard to promote body stability and increase the backward bend of your upper back.

2. When practicing, you can focus your consciousness on your waist, back, abdomen and other parts, or you can imagine yourself as a snake, soft and charming.

3. While maintaining the pose, keep your arms as straight as possible. But if you feel any discomfort, bend your elbows and lower your torso until you feel comfortable.

4. While maintaining the position, push the rib cage forward and upward to increase the extension of the spine.

5. The navel should be as close to the ground as possible to increase the stretch of the lower back, while also preventing the body from being lifted too high and straining the back muscles.

6. After returning to the pose, you can practice the baby pose and stretch your back in the opposite direction until you feel your back is completely relaxed.

7. Practitioners with gastric ulcers or severe spinal diseases should be very careful when practicing and should not stretch the upper body too completely. They can place their arms on the ground to complete this posture.
