Gentle Stretching With Happy Baby Pose For Back Pain Relief | Gentle Hip Yoga Stretching Exercises

Описание: Hello everyone! Welcome back to our youtube channel. In today's video, we are going to show you how to do happy baby pose for back pain relief, with modifications for those who are less than flexible! We hope you enjoy this gentle yoga stretching exercise.

Here are some of the reasons why Happy Baby is good for you:

Stretches the inner thighs and groin muscles
Stretches the lower back and hips, alleviating back pain and tension
Stretches the hamstrings
Creates a feeling of calm and relaxation
Relieves stress and fatigue
Releases the sacroiliac (SI) joint at the base of the spine

In order to do Happy Baby correctly, here are the steps:

Begin lying on your back.
Hug your knees to your chest. Keeping your knees close to your chest, lift your heels toward the sky. Stack your feet directly over your knees, keeping your shins perpendicular to the ground. Grab the outer edges of your feet with your hands and spread your feet and knees toward the outer edges of your shoulders. Beginners can grab one foot at a time.
Your elbows should come inside your knees.
Relax your hips, letting the joints soften, so they drop down toward the ground.
Let your knees drop toward the ground outside your ribcage. Keep a 90-degree bend in your knees. The bottom of your feet should be facing the ceiling.
Press your feet up into your hands while pressing your hands down against your feet to create a gentle resistance.
Stretch your hips away from your shoulders.
Pull your belly button toward your back to tighten your abs and engage your core.
Lower your shoulder blades away from your ears, and drop the outer edges of your shoulders down toward the ground.
If you need to keep your shoulders raised in order to flatten your back, you can do so; or use one of the modifications below.
Stretch your ears away from your shoulders as you drop your chin slightly toward your throat to elongate the back of your neck.
You should feel a release in your lower back. You might also feel some tightness in your groin and hips. If you do not feel the stretch, go deeper by pressing your knees out further while pulling your feet toward the ground. These opposing forces will allow you to go further.
Gently rock from side-to-side.

What makes this a gentle stretch? Gentle has been adopted into the yoga lexicon to describe a style of practice that focuses on stretching and breathing, not feats of strength or extreme flexibility and is typically appropriate for any age level. You may do standing postures, forward bends, and low-impact backbends, in addition to seated stretches in a typical gentle yoga practice. In general, gentle yoga can refer to a variety of types of yoga classes taught by teachers from various styles of yoga. To sum it up, gentle yoga is often intended to be easier, less intense, non-strenuous, minimalistic, quiet, meditative, and somewhat restorative.
