Understanding the Problem
The 'neck hump,' often linked to bad posture, can be a real pain. This article offers a practical solution. These yoga poses target the muscles to correct this issue. Remember, consistency is key; just like your daily chai ritual.
Pose 1: Mountain Pose
Start with the basics! Tadasana, or Mountain Pose, lays the foundation for good posture. Stand tall, feel the earth beneath your feet, and engage your core. Hold for several breaths, feeling the stretch. It's like a daily 'namaste' to your spine!
Pose 2: Cat-Cow Stretch
This dynamic stretch is fantastic for spinal flexibility. On your hands and knees, alternate between arching your back (cow) and rounding your spine (cat). This movement is simple yet effective for releasing tension, very similar to the rhythm of a Bollywood dance.
Pose 3: Cobra Pose
Bhujangasana, or Cobra Pose, strengthens back muscles and opens the chest. Lie on your stomach, lift your chest, and look up. This pose is a powerful stretch, mimicking the strength of a Bollywood hero. Hold for several breaths, feeling the stretch in your back.
Pose 4: Bridge Pose
Setu Bandhasana, or Bridge Pose, is great for strengthening your core and opening the chest. Lie on your back, bend your knees, and lift your hips. Feel the stretch in your shoulders and back. A perfect pose to get you ready for a vibrant weekend in Mumbai!
