USHTRASANA: THE CAMEL
Performing the exercise: kneel on the ground, with the ankles on the ground. Slowly lean the chest backwards. If your body lets you, hold on to your heels. When you're securely installed, accentuate the position by pushing the pelvis forward and upwards. The head follows the body in extension. Hold the position for as long as you can, then slowly return, raising first one hand, then another.
Breathing: inhale before going down; exhale when you lean backwards. Then hold the position, breathing normally.
Safety advice: remember to tuck in your tummy and tense your core muscles; stretch your chest and your head upwards before going down so as not to shrink yourself or crush your lumbar vertebrae.
Repeat: 4 repetitions with a short recovery.
