How to Do the Chair Pose Exercise
Video Transcript
Here is another version of this simple remedy that can be done while standing. Separate your legs, hip with apart, and engage your muscles. Place your hands on your upper thighs. With straight arms, press down into your thighs, and take the top of your sacrum in and up. Your arms may not straighten completely but you push as hard as you can. Breathe steadily. Exhale and take the bottom of your sacrum down. Hold this shape for a few breath until your body learns its new position.
Pressing your thighs back, taking the top of your sacrum in and out, the bottom of your sacrum down. Then straighten your legs. Moving the thighs back releases the grip of the lower back muscles. This is another key concept in lower back pain relief. Now try the same action lying on your back. Bent your legs and place your feet on the floor, hip with apart and parallel all to each other.
Bend your arms so that you can use your elbows to press down. Inhale and press your head and your elbows down gently into the floor to increase the curve in your back Exhale and remain there. Inhale again and deepen the curve, just a little more. Exhale and stay. Now one more time inhale and see if you can deepen the curve just a little bit more. Make a bigger back-bent and continue as long as it is feeling good to do it.
Then exhale and release. This simple exercise is so efficient. It can be done even before you get out of bed in the morning. When practiced often, it could very well be the miracle you have been looking for.
