Yoga for Heart Center - Camel Pose

The great thing about yoga poses is that a single pose can have many variations and modifications. This allows the same pose to be done by beginners and experts alike, and also allows one to extract additional benefits by varying the pose is particular ways.

What this means is that there is no need to be intimidated by difficult looking yoga postures, as there is every likely hood of finding an easier version of it for you to start with. In this newsletter I am going illustrate this point, while at the same time showing you a great yoga pose for opening the heart center and stretching the back, legs, throat, chest, hips, shoulders and abdominal area.

This pose is called Camel Pose (Ushtra Asana) and below are some new variations of this pose, which I will add to our free online Kundalini Yoga Exercises and Hatha Yoga Galleries collections on the website.

#1: Camel Pose Complete

#2: Camel Pose On Toes

#3: Camel Pose Easy 1

#4: Camel Pose Easy 2

#5: Camel Pose w/ Lion's Breath

Camel Pose for Optimum Health:

To do this exercise follow the steps below:

To start this yoga pose, come up onto your knees and have your feet and knees about 2 fists distance apart, with toes extended.
Now reach back with your hands and grasp your heels. If you feel yourself straining, don't worry try one of the many variations I have detailed below instead :-).
Next tilt your head back such that you are facing the ceiling.
Now ensure you are pressing forward with your hips and also expanding your chest region, by pressing your elbows back. Creating a good stretch in your thighs, hips, chest, shoulders, abdominal region, back and throat. This is shown in Illustration #1.
Variation with Toes: In Illustration #2, I show the small variation where you are on your toes, as opposed to having them extended, and this makes the pose a little easier to do.
Arm Variation #1: If you cannot reach your toes, that is fine, you can do this pose using the variation shown in Illustration #3. Here I have interlaced my fingers and am pulling my shoulder back as shown. In this variation you will be able to get all the stretches as well.
Arm Variation #2: Probably the easiest variation is shown in Illustration #4. Here I have my hands on my lower back instead. This is a great variation for seniors or those who are in need of a simple version to start with.
Advanced Variation with Lion's Breath: An easy way to introduce variations for poses is by using different breaths. Generally you can do any pose with normal breathing or long deep breathing, but if you want a pose to be more intense and productive you can do it using Breath of Fire. But in the variation shown in Illustration #5 above you do Camel Pose with Lion's Breath, also called Panting Dog Breath of Fire. In this variation you stick your tongue out and breathe in and out powerfully through the mouth. For this breath emphasize the exhalation more than the inhalation, and let the stomach contract with each exhalation. This variation will help detox your system. Again, feel free to stop and start this breath as required as you hold the pose.

Benefits of Camel Pose:

Excellent yoga posture for overall health and wellbeing.

The pose expands the abdominal region, helping digestion and elimination. It helps to heal and balances the Navel Chakra.

Opens and heals the Heart Chakra by expanding and stretching the chest region. Excellent for the respiratory and circulatory systems. Bestows softness of character.

Releases tension in the ovaries and helps the immune system by working on the lymphatic system.

The posture, activates and balances the Throat Chakra, and works to heal and rejuvenate the thyroid and parathyroid glands.

The exercise opens up the hips and builds strength in the thighs and arms.

Stretches and strengthens the shoulders.
