Summers are happening but winters are cozy. We get a lot of time indoors. So the best exercises for winters are the ones that can be performed indoors. Yoga is my favorite because it calms me after my holiday festivities and all the hectic chores of my routine. Some people take winter as a sign to hibernate, never really coming out of their cozy homes.
Even inside their homes, they prefer to stay in a slumber during vacation. For me, it’s the time to enjoy inner calm and peace. So what are you waiting for? Get ready for an amazing winter.
Mountain pose is classic
This pose requires the performer to practice deep breathing known as pranayama. Now follow my lead to perform this pose.
Stand still and straight over a yoga mat with your feet stretched apart. Shift the heels in a way that your body weight is evenly supported.
Start with a deep breathing pattern such that your stomach and ribs can be felt as you breath in and out. Keep the neck aligned with the back throughout the pose. After a while you will be able to follow the relaxed breathing pattern. Keep standing in the relaxed position as long as you wish to continue the pose.
Supported shoulder stand
This is slightly challenging pose that allows the pure body and mind connection and soothes your inner body. Here is what you need to do for supported shoulder stand yoga pose:
Lie back on the yoga mat but do not let your head touch the ground. Now stretch your arms behind you and slowly lift your hips from the ground and while you are doing that straighten your back.
Use your hands to support your back and then focus on straightening your legs. It's all about balancing the core. Try to be in that position for one minute but if that’s causing stress in shoulder muscles then you can relax from that position. End the pose by bringing the legs on the mat. Try another set if you can manage.
