Rabbit Pose
Rabbit pose can be done by following the below instruction:
- Begin by lying on your back with your knees on the bed and your buttocks on your heels.
- Lower your head to the front of your knees; the closer the crown of your head is to the knees, the better.
- Allow your forehead to touch your knees if you are able. With both palms facing in, firmly grasp your heels with both hands.
- Lift the hips away from the heels, round the back, and stretch the elbows. The stretch should be felt in the back of your neck and spine.
- Engage your core and round your back a little more with each exhalation.
Rabbit pose will help your brain and face receive more blood and oxygen. It helps to relieve stress while also providing a healthy glow to your face. The crunching position stimulates and strengthens your core while also correcting spine alignment by allowing space between the vertebrae. Rabbit posture, last but not least, opens the back of the heart chakra, promoting self-love and relieving stress and anxiety. It also helps for recent or chronic injuries to the knees, neck, spine, or shoulders.
