Compared with yoga semi-camel, yoga full-camel has the disadvantages of higher flexibility and greater difficulty for bodybuilders; The advantage is that the fitness effect is better. So what are the specific differences between these two yoga styles, and how should bodybuilders choose?
1, full camel step
Step 1: Kneel on the yoga mat, legs apart, knees waist wide, feet behind the ground, upper body straight.
Step 2: bend backwards until the head touches the ground; Hands and elbows should also touch the ground to protect the head, and keep this posture for more than 15 seconds (the specific time varies from person to person, but it should not be too long).
Step 3: With the help of your hands, use the strength of your waist muscles to restore your body to a kneeling position.
2. Half camel step
Ardha ustrasana is simpler than whole camel, and the basic steps are as follows:
Step 1: Kneel on the yoga mat, legs apart, knees waist wide, feet behind the ground, upper body straight.
Step 2: The left arm is upright, and the right arm is naturally drooping. Take the waist as the axial backward bending body until the right arm touches the heel, and keep this posture for more than 15 seconds.
Step 3: Restore the body to the kneeling position, then the right arm will stand upright, the left arm will droop naturally, and bend back with the waist as the axis until the left arm touches the heel, and keep this position for more than 15 seconds.
3. Full camel type and semi-camel type
Standard full camel yoga requires gymnasts to land on their heads at the end, while semi-camel yoga only requires gymnasts to touch their heels with one hand. From this point of view, full camel yoga is much simpler than half camel yoga.
4. Precautions for Yoga Camel Style
If the exerciser has poor physical flexibility or poor waist joints, it is best not to directly carry out the standard full camel yoga exercise. It is recommended to start practicing semi-camel or other yoga poses until the body is flexible enough to practice full camel yoga.
