A photo: Tatyana Pivovarova I had to stay in a lazy mood, but the body, accustomed to the loads, still asked for its own. Thus was born a small, simple set of yoga exercises that allows you to “pump” blood and lymph in your body without rising from the mat. The main thing is to gain strength to spread this mat. What are the most vulnerable parts of the body? The back, which is experiencing a tremendous load, and legs, which every now and then swell. We will work with them. And at the same time we will master the Kegel exercise, or mula bandhu, which will allow keeping the muscles of the perineum in shape and contribute to the speedy recovery after childbirth, and work on opening the hip joints.
1. Relaxation
So, the mat is laid out, and the real fun beginspleasant: lie on your back and relax your entire body: from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. If your lower back is tense, put a small pillow or a rolled-up towel under it. Choose a position in which your lower back is completely relaxed. When this is impossible, turn on your side, bending your knees and moving them as close to your stomach as possible. Put a small pillow under your head. Now you can completely relax, the main thing is not to fall asleep. Our task is to tune in to the practice. The easiest way to free your head and tune in to working with the body is to count your breath. Count your exhalations from 1 to 10, trying not to think about anything extraneous, to be present here and now. If some thought arises, we count back to one. The goal of the practice is not to count to the end, but to tune in to the lesson.
