Women often face pressure to find the ideal balance between their personal and professional lives. After taking care of the kids and the elderly, completing household tasks and having an endless to-do list, they hardly have time or energy left over for themselves. However, because of this multitasking, it is even more crucial for women to exercise and yoga is the best kind of exercise there is.
Here are 4 Yoga asanas that prove to be good for women.
Balasana
The advantages of Balasana apply to the entire body. This asana not only improves physical flexibility but also lowers stress levels. You sit on your knees to do Balasana. Next, put both hands on the ground in front of you, bend your back and bring your entire body forward. With your knees bent and toes placed firmly on the ground, position your head on the floor. For a while, hold this yoga pose and become normal.
Vrikshasana
Vrikshasana, sometimes referred to as the “Tree Pose,” is a mix of two Sanskrit terms: “vriksha,” which means tree, and “asana,” which means pose. Because this pose requires leg balance, it is best done close to a wall so that the one doing it can reach for the wall if they lose their balance. Pregnant women can benefit greatly from practising Vrikshasana because it reduces discomfort and facilitates a painless birth.
Navasana
Another good yoga pose for women is navasana. Sit on the ground to perform Navasana. After this, raise both legs toward the front and move your upper body backwards. Hold your hands close to your knees. After 30 seconds, release the pose and return to your regular posture.
Baddhakonasana
This pose, also known as the Bound Angle Pose, involves the legs forming an angle with the hands bound together. This asana should not be practised if you have a knee injury, groin problems, lower back or disc troubles or sciatica. Women can benefit from this position during pregnancy and childbirth, as well as for menopause-related conditions including hot flushes and urinary incontinence.
