कक्षा से पहले पूछे गए सवाल
What are backbends in yoga?
Poses that extend the spine and open the front of the body — chest, hip flexors and abdomen. YogaPath lists 43 of them, from Bridge Pose through to Upward Bow Pose.
Which backbends should a beginner start with?
The 16 poses in this family marked beginner: Bridge Pose, Cat Pose, Cobra Pose, Cow Pose, Easy Bow Pose and others. Each has a version that works for most bodies, and each page lists who should skip it.
Are backbends safe for everyone?
No family of poses is. Each page in this group lists its own contraindications — pregnancy, blood pressure, glaucoma, and neck, knee, shoulder or wrist injury all rule out specific poses. Read the cautions on the individual page, ask your doctor if a condition applies to you, and learn the poses with a qualified teacher.
आसनों के नाम पारंपरिक हैं। इस पृष्ठ पर दिया हर चरण, लाभ और सावधानी YogaPath के लिए लिखी गई है, किसी किताब, स्टूडियो या अन्य संग्रह से नहीं ली गई — देखिए यह साइट कैसे लिखी जाती है और यह किन स्रोतों से लिखी जाती है. सिर्फ़ सामान्य जानकारी — चिकित्सकीय सलाह नहीं। कुछ आसन गर्भावस्था, चोट या कुछ ख़ास स्थितियों में उपयुक्त नहीं हैं। किसी योग्य शिक्षक से सीखें और कहीं दर्द हो तो रुक जाएँ।
