PLOUGH POSE
The plow pose is too wonderful for the back it folds well and brings that relive around your chest, neck back, waist, abdomen and elevate your mood. The plow is a gentle posture to handle fatigue, it also promotes digestion.
But then one has to be very sure it's something suitable for one's fitness and flexibility level at the moment. Though most persons I've seen at the gym in my yoga classes are very young and fit but still finds it very difficult to move into the plough for the first time, they mostly would require assistance and a push to move into it, I came to discover that for them it's about the mental fear of the mind. So be sure I would want to try this out, it doesn't hurt it heals, except if you have some medical complications which you must consort your doctor ever you take to any exercise regime. Though high blood pressure could also be another factor why the plough might not be too suitable for some persons due to the pressure it puts on the cervical spine and neck, but on the other hand the plough also can balance minor blood pressure, because it stretch the spine, clear up the chest region for proper circulation which makes it gives calming effect.
Anyway if you're very sure then let's get started, it's in the mind, mind over matter. You can move into the plow from the shoulder stand or you can also take differently but do remember that really Hatha yoga works with sequences, one thing leads to another.
Now start by lying flat on your yoga mat or blanket with your back on the floor, breath in deeply and exhale. Now lift both legs up to the ceiling creating 90-degree angle around your torso. Place your hands on your low back, have a better grip on your lower back side, feel your elbows as a stay or pillar holding you from behind, then here pull your core in as you lift your hips and legs off the floor, and gently roll the legs over to the head area.
If your legs can touch the floor fine, but know that we all have a different level of flexibility so try and stay on your pace, your legs must not touch the floor, don't force anything here. Yoga is not about struggle, relax on this pose, interlock your fingers behind, and watch your breath come and go.
For a start don't spend many seconds on this pose, now you can breathe in deeply hold the breath and gently roll out without hurt your back. Please don't roll out with force.
This pose is an advanced posture please if you can try and get assistance from experts to help you.
Enjoy.
