In the fast paced, hi-tech world we

Reclining Bound Angle Pose, also known as Supta Baddha Konasana, is a restorative and gentle yoga pose that involves reclining on the back with the soles of the feet together and knees dropping out to the sides. This pose can offer various benefits for menopausal women as part of a yoga practice. While there may not be specific scientific studies on the effects of Reclining Bound Angle Pose during menopause, it is generally considered a pose that promotes relaxation and overall well-being. Here are some potential benefits:
*Hip Flexor Stretch: Reclining Bound Angle Pose provides a gentle stretch to the inner thighs and hip flexors. Menopausal women may experience tightness in the hips, and this pose can help release tension, improve flexibility, and alleviate discomfort.
*Pelvic Floor Relaxation: The open position of the hips in this pose allows for relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles. This can be beneficial for women experiencing pelvic floor tension or discomfort during menopause, helping to alleviate symptoms like pelvic pain or tightness.
*Stress Reduction: The reclined nature of the pose, combined with deep and mindful breathing, can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress. Stress management is important during menopause, as hormonal changes can be accompanied by increased stress levels.
*Improved Circulation: Reclining Bound Angle Pose allows for an opening in the pelvic area, potentially enhancing blood circulation. Improved circulation can contribute to overall cardiovascular health and may help alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes.
*Gentle Chest and Heart Opener: The position of the arms and shoulders in this pose can create a gentle opening in the chest and heart area. This may promote a sense of emotional release and openness during a time when emotional well-being can be important.
*Enhanced Respiratory Function: The pose encourages deep and diaphragmatic breathing. This can improve respiratory function, enhance lung capacity, and contribute to a sense of calm and relaxation.
*Mind-Body Connection: Reclining Bound Angle Pose offers an opportunity for introspection and connection with the breath. The mindfulness cultivated in this pose may help women navigate emotional changes associated with menopause.
*Supports Digestive Health: The gentle compression on the abdomen in this pose can massage and stimulate the abdominal organs, potentially aiding in digestion and relieving digestive discomfort, which can be relevant during menopause.
It's important to approach Reclining Bound Angle Pose with awareness and listen to the body. If there are specific health concerns or conditions related to menopause, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before starting or modifying a yoga practice. Reclining Bound Angle Pose can be a valuable addition to a comprehensive yoga routine aimed at promoting physical and emotional well-being during menopause.
How to:
1. Sit on the floor, bend your legs and pull your knees toward your body.
2. Let your thighs fall open, press the soles of your feet together and carefully pull your heels toward your pelvis.
3. Exhale and lie down with your arms alongside your body and your palms facing up.
4. Stay in reclining bound angle pose for 1 to 5 minutes.

Myth: All Yoga Is the Same

Fact: Yoga is not a unitary practice and is not limited to poses. Everyone’s practice or understanding of yoga is different. Yoga comes in various forms, each offering unique paths to self-discovery and spiritual growth.

*Hatha Yoga consists of physical poses and exercises to channel the life force in the body.
* Karma Yoga emphasises selfless service and action without attachment to results.
* Gyan Yoga focuses on the pursuit of knowledge and self-realisation through intellectual inquiry.
* Bhakti Yoga centres around devotion and cultivating a deep connection with the divine.
* Raja Yoga involves meditation and self-discipline to attain higher states of consciousness.

As promised, asana (pose) number two. 3 more left, keep it locked hapa for more tips.
Here are potential benefits of Legs Up the Wall pose that may be helpful for menopausal women:

*Stress Reduction: Menopause can be a stressful time for women due to hormonal changes. Legs Up the Wall pose is considered a restorative and relaxing pose that may help reduce stress and promote a sense of calm.
*Improving Circulation: This pose can promote blood circulation, especially in the pelvic region. Enhanced circulation may be beneficial for addressing symptoms like hot flashes and supporting overall cardiovascular health.
*Reducing Anxiety: Menopause is often accompanied by emotional changes and anxiety. Legs Up the Wall pose, with its emphasis on deep breathing and relaxation, may help alleviate anxiety and provide mental relief.
*Relieving Swelling and Fluid Retention: Menopausal women may experience water retention and swelling. Elevating the legs in this pose can help in reducing swelling and promoting lymphatic drainage.
*Enhancing Sleep: Insomnia and sleep disturbances are common during menopause. The calming effect of Legs Up the Wall, combined with its potential to alleviate stress and anxiety, may contribute to improved sleep quality.

Mood Improvement: Yoga, in general, is associated with mood improvement. Legs Up the Wall pose, with its focus on relaxation and deep breathing, may positively impact mood and contribute to emotional well-being.

Getting into the pose:

* Lie on your back, and extend legs up
against the wall.
* Place an eye pillow over their eyes for added relaxation. Notice any tension in the body and release. Surrender in the legs and lower back. Hold for 5-7 minutes.

Yoga is a wonderful way to cope with the physical and psychological changes that occur during perimenopause, menopause, and post menopause. Perimenopause is the transitional stage before menopause and has characteristics that are similar to the beginning of puberty, including changing bodies, fluctuating moods, and even pimples. Menopause is the official end of menstruation and the decline of oestrogen levels. Post menopause is the period after menopause when the risk of osteoporosis, sarcopenia (muscle loss), and cardiovascular disease increases.
Yoga for menopause is all about staying cool, calm, and collected. You want to keep your nervous system balanced and use the practice to maintain strength without overheating the body. The following five yoga poses are my favourite ways to meet menopause with grace and acceptance.
Lunge pose: This pose stretches the hip flexors and the psoas muscles. The psoas muscles connect the lower back to the upper thighs. The psoas can get tight if you spend a lot of your day seated. It also constricts when you get stressed.

Listen, you want your kids to go here. you do. Stay with me....why do I say this, cause my girl can tell a story and keep you captivated. She comes in with actions and all.
I have known her for over ahem years (don't worry about it), I have seen her teach of 7+ who didn't know how to read, learn how to read and love books.
If you want your kid off their devices for a few hours, call the number on the poster. You will not regret it. P:lus hi 400 bobs is less than them coins for Roblox.
