High plank vs Reverse plank😇

High plank - how to do👇
Get into the top or start of a pushup position. Keep your palms and toes firmly planted on the ground, your back straight, and your core tight. A saggy back or bottom during a plank can result in lower back pain later on, so be sure not to compromise your form. Do not let your head sag.

Benefits 🤗👏👏
The plank strengthens your spine, your rhomboids and trapezius, and your abdominal muscles, which naturally result in a strong posture as they grow in strength. Developing your posture can improve on a number of ailments, and prevent the onset of other ones. Good posture means you're keeping your bones aligned.

Reverse plank - how to do👇
Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you.
Place your palms, with fingers spread wide, on the floor slightly behind and outside your hips.
Press into your palms and lift your hips and torso toward the ceiling.
Look up to the ceiling, point your toes, and keep your arms and legs straight.
Keep your entire body strong and form a straight line from your head to your heels.
Squeeze your core and try to pull your belly button back toward your spine. Hold the position for up to 30 seconds.
If your hips begin to sag or drop, lower yourself back to the floor
Perform up to three sets of 30-second holds.

Benefits🤗👏👏
The reverse plank exercise is an often-overlooked exercise that is great for the core. It targets the posterior muscles (those along the backside of the body), but when done properly, it also engages the abdominal muscles. ... Progress to holding the reverse plank for just a few seconds at a time with good form.

Here are some tips for safely doing a plank:😇
Engage your core during the entire movement to prevent your back from getting strained or injured.
Keep your body in a straight line, from your head to your heels. Your back should be flat, and your butt should be down, not piking upward.
Focus on quality over quantity. If your form starts to feel compromised, stop or drop to your knees to complete your time for the day.

The breath is the bridge between the body and the mind. In yoga it's very important, laying the foundation for the different types of movements that you do in yoga.
Dirga Pranayama is a powerful breathing exercise which helps practitioners to bring their breathing to perfection. It helps people to breathe in a way that the air reaches the abdomen and oxygen-rich blood circulate throughout the whole body. ... Dirga Pranayama is also known as three-part breathe.

How to do 👇
The first position is the low belly (on top of or just below the belly button), the second position is the low chest (lower half of the rib cage), and the third position is the low throat (just above the top of the sternum). The breath is continuous, inhaled and exhaled through the nose. The inhalation starts in the first position, the low belly; then moves to the second position, the low chest; then to the third position, the low throat. The exhalation starts in the low throat, moves to the low chest, and finishes in the low belly.Rest your hands on the individual positions to feel the breath rising and falling through each position. When you start practicing, you may want to individually isolate the movement in each position, using the hands. When you have a good feel for the breath moving in and out of each position, practice without the hands. Eventually relax the effort of the pranayama and breathe into the three positions gently, feeling a wave of breath move up and down the torso.

Benefits 🤗👏👏
Increases focus and concentration
Relaxes the nervous system
Reduces stress and anxiety
Relieves insomnia
Builds stamina
Improves the immune system
Eases respiratory problems

Precautions 👇
Under any circumstances, do not put pressure or force on your lungs while breathing. Make sure that you feel comfortable while breathing in and out. Do not breathe in too deeply and see to it that you are relaxed and comfortable during the exercise

Flexibility👇

Yoga poses work by stretching your muscles. They can help you move better and feel less stiff or tired. At any level of yoga, you'll probably start to notice benefits soon. In one study, people improved their flexibility by up to 35% after only 8 weeks of yoga.

Camel pose ( Ustrasana) 👇

Camel Pose stretches the front of the body including the chest, abdomen, and quadriceps. It improves spinal mobility as much of the day you are likely to be sitting or slouching and bending your spine forward. By doing a backbend, you are flexing it in the opposite direction and it may help you develop better posture.
