Learn Boat Pose
Cannabis yogi Jazzmin is rocking boat pose, an excellent ab exercise. Why don’t ya give it a whirl?
The Boat Pose (Navasana) is a yoga posture that strengthens the core muscles and improves balance. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get into the Boat Pose:
Starting Position:
Begin by sitting on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground.
Keep your hands resting on the floor beside your hips, fingers pointing towards your feet.
Lift Your Legs:
Engage your core muscles and lean back slightly, lifting your feet off the ground.
Find your balance on your sitting bones while keeping your spine straight.
Leg Extension:
- Straighten your legs, bringing them to a 45-degree angle from the floor.
- Keep your toes at eye level, forming a V shape with your body.
Arm Position:
Extend your arms parallel to the floor, reaching forward with palms facing each other.
Your arms should be in line with your legs.
Hold and Breathe:
Maintain the pose for as long as comfortable, breathing steadily.
Keep your chest lifted, shoulders relaxed, and spine straight.
Modifications:
If keeping your legs straight is challenging, you can bend your knees slightly.
Make it more challenging by straightening your arms forward alongside your legs.
Exiting the Pose:
To release, exhale, and lower your legs and torso back to the floor.
Return to a seated position with your hands on the ground beside your hips.
Tips:
Focus on lengthening your spine and keeping your chest lifted.
Engage your abdominal muscles to support your lower back.
If you feel strain in your lower back, consider modifying the pose or bending your knees.
As with any yoga pose, listen to your body and only go as far as feels comfortable for you. If you have any existing medical conditions or concerns, it’s advisable to consult with a yoga instructor or healthcare professional before attempting new poses.
