Knees To Chest
Knees-to-chest is a basic grounding pose that relaxes the body and calms the mind. The knee-to-chest stance is a great anti-back stretch. Constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, and gas are among the digestive issues it alleviates. If you have gas accumulation or abdominal pain, the knee-to-chest stance, commonly known as the "wind-down" pose, maybe for you. It will help to relieve pressure in your stomach and intestines. Knees To Chest is considered one of the yoga poses for better digestion.
Step by step:
- Inhale, then exhale, hugging your knees to your chest as you exhale.
- Swing your knees from side to side, creating tension in your lower back and abdomen.
- Hold this position for 5-10 breaths before lowering your knees to the ground slowly.
- Rep 2-3 times more.
Beginner's Tips:
- Stretch your spine to the end of your tailbone on the floor. Resist the urge to elevate your buttocks and hips off the mat. Drawing your knees tightly to your chest is less significant than having a longer spine.
- Place a firm blanket beneath your head if you are experiencing discomfort in your head or neck.
During the activity, keep the following points in mind:
- If you're recovering from abdominal surgery or a hernia, this stance isn't for you. If you have a spinal, knee, or hip ailment, you should avoid this pose.
- Do not raise your head if you have a neck injury.
- After the first trimester, pregnant women should avoid doing this pose. Always stay within your capabilities and restrictions. Before doing yoga, see your doctor if you have any health issues.
