YOGA
The
Forward Bend: Effective for Diabetes
- Inhale
and come up to a sitting position from a lying position, with
your arms straight out behind you. Point your feet at the ceiling
and pull the flesh of your buttocks out from underneath you, so
that you are sitting directly on the pelvic bone. Stretch your
arms above your head, lengthening the spine.
- Pull
the abdomen in, exhale and bend forward from the pelvis, leading
with the chest and keeping your back straight. Bring your chin
toward your shins and your chest toward your thighs. Don't bend
from the middle spine.
- Continue
right down and hold on to whichever part of your legs or feet
you can comfortably reach without bending the knees. With practice,
you can warp your index fingers around your big toes and bring
your elbows down to the floor, or stretch your arms out over your
feet, as shown right. In the position, breathe deeply, feeling
yourself move forward a little more every time you exhale. Hold
for three to four deep breaths at first, gradually increasing
the number as you become relaxed in the pose. When you release
the position, reach forward as you come up.
