Strengthen the Abdominals

Namaste yogis



Good strong abdominals are so important in your yoga poses and also in your daily life. They support your lower back and help to take pressure out of the hip, knee and ankle joints.


Reverse Ab Curl

Lie on your back bring your legs up to your chest and cross your ankles, letting your knees drop outwards. Reach around and take hold of your toes. Inhale
As you exhale use your abdominal muscles to roll your hips away from the floor as your knees reach toward your rib cage.
Gently return to the floor and repeat 10 times or more.
Remember to keep your neck and shoulders relaxed.
