prevention

The following exercises have been compiled for the prevention of back pain and are suitable for daily practice. The sequence of positions (called asanas) is divided into three groups, or three exercise levels:

You will find in our picture galleries asanas, which are suitable for beginners. These should be practiced daily for a few weeks with 2 repetitions each.

The other positions are more intense challenges to the body and are suitable for advanced after some time of practice.

Rules of practice

1) With yoga you will get to know the abilities of your body better, therefore, while performing the asanas, pay attention to their individual possibilities and respect the limits of your body as the first and most important rule.

2) Always follow the sequence of the exercises shown, start with gentle stretching exercises and gradually increase your exercise level.

3) It is important to pay attention to your breathing during the positions, breathe deeply, breathe evenly and breathe in and out for a long time.

4) It is always helpful to take the starting positions for each exercise as precisely as possible - the better the actual position.

5) To leave a position, step out of the exercise posture step by step just as carefully.

6) Normally, each of the asanas is repeated twice (unless otherwise stated) to intensify the beneficial effects on the body.

7) Always practice on a non-slip mat to signal your body's safety in positions, and do not practice on acute back pain.
