All Yoga Zone

Famous celebrities are into it; Cameron Diaz, Madonna, Raquel Welch, and even Jamie Lee Curtis are examples. More and more people are hooked on the craze that is yoga. However, contrary to what many people may think - it’s more than just a fad. Truth is, it actually began way back in 4000 BC.

There are various stretches that you can do whether you are at the office or merely staying right at the comfort of your own home.

Among the most basic yoga stretches is the position wherein you’ll put your arms at your back while you try to clasp the other hand. After, you lift your arm as far as you can while lifting your sternum. Hold such position for about 30 to 45 seconds then relax a while then do it again.

Moreover, if you want to use the chair then you can sit at the edge of it while the left part of your body is slightly facing the back. While doing this, allow your feet and knees to come close to each other while you put your arms on the chair. Inhale and as you try to exhale, slightly twist the bottom of the spine while at the same time pushing your left hand and pulling to the right.

It’s important to remember, there are also some yoga stretches that are not recommended by physical therapists and it would be wise to check with a physician first - before attempting to do a particular stretch.
