Yoga Single Leg Balance Postures

As we advance in age, we gradually lose balance and motor coordination. Yoga Balance poses are very rejuvenating and uplifting. Constant practice helps us to build self awareness, self-confidence, and mental and physical balance from within.
I extracted a few balance poses from one of my regular group Yoga sessions to create a single-leg balance program that could be of good help to those searching for combined single-leg balance postures. Balance leg poses activate the muscles and chakras of the lower body to trigger key reflex points that send feedback through the energy channels to improve concentration power. 

However, age is not the only factor that makes someone lose balance on the ground. Although age is a factor, other factors could also make us relinquish our grip on motor coordination; such as alcoholism, stress, ill health, ear problem, etc

If done properly on a regular basis it would help create self awareness and relax the heart rate. With this practice constantly on a deeper level stress hormones could be reduced. A very good practice to manage palpitation and regulate respiration. It would also help in reducing muscular tension and improve sleep.

Janu Sirsasana- Seated Head to Knee Posture





This videos has different variations, please modify at your pace.

This refers to seated forward bend, stretching the head to the knee would be the literal meaning of what the Sanskrit words suggest. But to my practical understanding, its effectiveness goes beyond the target of the head to the knee, as one progresses. It's about lengthening out the spine without limitations, though with care and respect to your flexibility range at the moment.
The posture involves the lubrication of the knee as one would have to bend in the knees on each side accordingly to place the sole of each on the inner thigh of each leg. The entire body is an interconnected system of different components, but then the major target here is pin pointedly around the back, moving away from the lower back, as one would have to pull in the abdomen and pelvis.
This beautiful posture has different variations that also impact effectively on the sides, working to expound the capacity of the lungs, the rib cage, the side neck, arms, and hips. A very good sequence to improve respiratory issues, cold, and sciatica pains. In this particular sequence, the pelvic floor is also at work, as you move into the alignment, you have to pull, and tighten up the pelvic to engage your root chakra and the epigastric plexus or sacral chakra. This will internally work effectively on the reproductive system.
Outlined points of benefits: Relive tension around the Hamstrings, groins, hips, back and the spine. Good posture to relief sciatica pains, menstrual pains, although with care. This posture stimulates the digestive system against constipation and poor digestion. The pancreas also gets stimulated to regulate blood sugar level, very good to manage diabetes, liver and kidney problems. Different variations of this posture will also clear pains around the side neck and ribs.
