Camel

Exercise Description:

The camel pose, also known as the ustrasana, is a yoga pose that involves a deep stretch in the back, chest, and shoulders. To do the camel pose, start by kneeling on the ground with your knees hip-width apart and your toes pointed back.

Next, place your hands on the back of your hips and lean back, feeling a stretch in your chest and shoulders. You can also try reaching back and grabbing onto your heels or ankles to deepen the stretch.

As you lean back, make sure to keep your back straight and your hips and shoulders squared. You can also try lifting your head and looking up to stretch the muscles in your neck and upper back.

Hold the pose for 30 seconds to a minute, and then release and repeat a few times. To deepen the stretch, try slowly rocking back and forth or side to side. You can also try gently pressing your hips forward with your hands to stretch the muscles even further.

The camel pose is a great way to improve flexibility and reduce tension in the back, chest, and shoulders. It can also help to improve posture and alleviate lower back pain. It's a good idea to incorporate the camel pose into your regular stretching routine to maintain flexibility and prevent muscle tightness.
