Today we are going to learn chakra balancing or leg
rotations.
Leg rotations are a very simple practice, but they proved to be very
effective especially when it's really easy to teach abdomen, strengthening of
the abdomen. So those who are weak lower back, the reason why they have weak
lower back because the abdomen is not strong enough and when you do leg
rotations or chakra padasana and it helps you to strengthen the abdomen region.
Also, it is very good to tune the organs which are there inside the abdomen at
the same time it is very important and improves the dietitian.
The practice looks quite simple and a lot of time because it
looks simple. People take it for granted. They just move their leg they are not
engaging themselves, the more simpler it is.
It becomes very difficult to keep your attention there to
keep your mind there. And that's a reason why, even with simpler practice, make
sure that you are there you're present.
Those who have lower
back issue, they should modify it but bending the legs and then doing it, it
makes it a little simple, do to still find difficult to keep the hand
underneath the back to support.
Otherwise, it is very good for strengthening the abdomen.
Let's see how to do this practice. For this rely on the back in supine
position
.
After lying on the back, those who find difficult or those
who feel that there is a lot of strain, they can always keep one leg bent so
that this modification can make things a little easier. The strain will be
less, but those who can do it, they will keep the bobblehead script. Now one
common mistake which can happen is when people lift the leg up The lower back end tend to lift higher the lower back arch
is a little bit that can also bring a lot of strain in the lower back. So what
is more important is to keep the navel button pulled in down into the mat into
the flow so that the lower back end remain flat.
This will safeguard the lower
back, we are now going to go into chakra paddles. So one leg should we will
engage the leg which is on the floor should be engaged. So I will stretch the
toes in and I will engage my cords up so that this leg remains stationary and
the other leg can keep on moving. Otherwise, a lot of time it is happening that
people when they move this one leg up, the other leg tends to bend and also it
stops moving. We don't want that leg to move. We want that leg to remain
stationary, steady and engaged. So when you're engaging one leg, for example,
if right now I'm engaging my right leg, I will stretch the toe in animal
engagement courts have been keep the lower back press down.
If I start lifting my leg up, my hand will start going down
underneath the back. That is not what we want. We want it to be formed and down
on the flow pulling the navel but inside, so engaging one leg, and then we start
with other leg rotation. So keeping the right leg engage, I will inhale. And as
I exam, I tighten the abdomen and slowly move the leg up. And then as I inhale,
I again come down slowly back to the center. What is more important is to let
the movement happen in a slower way, the slower it is, the impactful it will
become.
When people do this, they tend to move their hips or the opposite, but
also up like this. Don't let this area lift like this area for the head and the
button before on the ground. Exactly. Contract the abdomen. Inhale without
lifting the tip and the butter. Just open the leg as much as you can. This is
how you Leg rotation slowly. Those who find too difficult of field
grabbing the leg, they can soften the knee a little, so that becomes really
easier for them. But otherwise keeping the leg straight becomes much more
impactful on the abdomen also. So this is how we can perform leg rotation.
Few
people ask question whether we should stretch the toe out or in it will depend
actually, if you're feeling some crap in the court, you can stretch the toe out
or you can keep the ankle just relaxed and then you can maintain the rotation.
You can do clockwise
and anti clockwise. Then you can try with the other leg.
It looks very simple, but it has a very deep impact on
strengthening the abdomen wall indirectly strengthening the back.
Do practice and feel the strength.
