What are some good yoga moves for the cervical spine?

Speaking of yoga, I believe many friends have practiced it. Now many female friends like to practice yoga to lose weight, and some friends also do it to exercise their body's balance ability. In fact, yoga has more than just these effects. Whether you are a male or female friend, if you have a problem with your cervical spine, you can also practice some yoga to exercise your cervical spine. So what are the yoga moves that are better for the cervical spine? Let me talk about it below.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Cow 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, keeping 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.

5. 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.

Yoga is actually a very practical and convenient form of exercise. Sometimes you can just buy some books teaching yoga movements and do them at home. Especially for those who have problems with their cervical vertebrae, applying some plasters or something may not be effective. Doing this kind of yoga movements is actually a very good way to treat cervical vertebrae. Everyone should try it.
