Forward Bending Postures
Forward Bending Postures
The forward bending postures in yoga help you to become introverted and are perfect counter-poses to the backbending postures.
Janushirasana
is also known as head to knee pose. Remember that in order to protect the back, as you breath in straighten the back and as you breath out come forward. Take a strap around the foot or bend the knee to help the back to come to upright if you need to. Repeat this posture on both sides.
Paschimottanasana
is also known as seated forward bend and is similar to janushirasana but with both feet together. Again the back should straighten on the inhalation and a strap or bent knees can be used.
