Backbends help counteract the damage of bad posture by bending the spine in a direction it isn’t used to. They help to realign our vertebrae while at the same time stimulating the sympathetic nervous system. They open the chest, lengthen the spine and strengthen the upper back, all of which make our posture more straight.⁣ ⁣ Think of all the times you spend bending forward in a day. Whether you’re driving, eating at a table, typing at a computer, cleaning, or gardening, it is likely that you are spending a majority of your day in an unsupported forward bend. And for this reason, you need to practice backbends every day.⁣ ⁣ Too much forward bending, and as a result, poor posture, can lead to:⁣ • Back and neck pain⁣ • Restricted blood-flow to vital organs and glands (preventing them from working as they should)⁣ • Negative effects on self-esteem and mood⁣ ⁣ What most people fail to recognize is that our backs are meant to move in all directions – forward and back. Back-bending is actually a natural range of motion for the spine – take a look at children or monkeys, for instance. They have the ability to move their spine in more ways than you could imagine! Fluid and without restriction.⁣ ⁣ The posterior part of your spinal column is compressed as you bend backwards, which helps push the disks in your vertebrae away from the spinal nerves, and decompresses the front of the vertebrae. As a result, the damage from forwarding bending (over time) can be reversed.⁣

A yoga mat is a necessary equipment for a yogi. Its very hard to find a good quality yoga mat. you should know before you buy a yoga mat.

1. Good grip. A yoga mat should not be slippery!  Is there anything worse than sliding around on your yoga mat while trying to do some difficult poses? So the first and important thing is the yoga mat should have good grip. Buy a yoga mat which is non slip.

2. Size of the yoga mat. The standard size of a yoga mat is 183cm*61cm. Make sure you buy a standard size yoga mat. And if you are a beginner definitely go for this size, because  When you're just starting out, building up your strength takes some time. so make sure your mat is there to help you out along the way.

3. Thickness. A 6mm yoga mat is good for everyone. And if you are starting out definitely buy at least 6mm thick yoga mat, which will give you a good grip while you practice some difficult poses.

4. Yoga Mat material. Some yoga mats are full of toxic PVC materials. Make sure you buy a anti sweat TPE which is 100% Eco Friendly.

These are the main things you should know while you buy a Yoga mat. Hope this helped you.

Meet our beloved #yogalover and #yogateacher Cristina! A true story and watch what she proved with her dedication. What she says @sound4peace @csomm3r love yoga so much and it helps me every day. I had a very bad car crash six years ago and 19 surgeries on my head the doctors told me I would never be able to do yoga, or any variation of body practice. They told me I can never ride a horse or go by air plane or anything. I had to learn how to talk again and I lost my balance—still I’ve problems but I accept myself fully No doctor believed that I would recover and heal. I didn’t hear what they told me I just focus on my inner voice and feeling and start practicing yoga and go far from all the noise to come back to nature I read books about yoga and kundalini and so on... and I always hoped that one day I will help others to understand that within all of us there is the whole universe and so much more than our mind will ever understand... we are nothing yet everything... it’s magic And yoga.. yoga is life. It gives us so much more than I can express in words #yogagirl #yogagermany #yogauk #yogausa #mantra student. #yogaeverydamnday #indiatravel #yogateachertraining #200hrytt (at Yoga Teacher Training Nepal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXH_RoUoSgl/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 3/ embrace #alottobloom #yogachallenge • Runners lunge pose arm variant. Getting a great stretch for my upper back as well as opening my chest (often tight after a day’s work); and, definitely strengthening my legs and the friend of my tight hip flexors 😆 (blame it on the running 😂). Just overall relaxing too 💤 😃 after spending the entire morning dealing with admins and paying bills, this is THE POSE for me. Just embracing the day with gratitude (though some moaning is understandable when one has to deal with admins (including paying taxes, as I’m not great with numbers 😂). • Hosts: @marine_chpn @gypsea_yogi @flora.bertrand @mathildesway • Sponsors: @aloyoga #aloyoga @alomoves #aloyoga • #yogauk #yogadayeveryday #yogafriendship #yogafriendly #cuckfieldmums #cuckfieldvillage #instayogadaily #nilayogauk #nilakarulayoga Definitely Sweatybetty leggings 😊 @sweatybetty #iamasweatybetty (at Haywards Heath) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIWYyS_Az-f/?igshid=1r82bt2sm0h42
