Daily reality
You have a good job, a good salary but you sit in front of your computer all day?
The problem with hours of sitting is that it weakens and shortens the muscles of the body. Your back hurts, your movements are restricted, your vital energy (Prana in Sanskrit) no longer circulates as it should.
Result
The core muscles become inactive and you maintain poor posture throughout the day. The back muscles weaken, pain appears, the muscles of the shoulders, legs and hips shorten, energy stops flowing freely.
By staying in a bad posture for long hours, energy is blocked and your physical and mental health are affected. You live with your back pain, you suffer but you accept it.
You don’t change anything
This is going to get worse! Muscle pain, poor sleep, anxiety, nervousness, mood swings, weak immune system, snacking and weight gain, etc…
You have to admit it: Your body has become weak, your muscles are flabby and your weight has increased considerably, your back pain is becoming chronic. You have to do something but you don’t have time!
You want to change, no longer have back pain, have a better quality of life
Know that you can implement a few new habits that will not take you more than 15 minutes a day.
You can strengthen your muscles, become more flexible, more toned, sleep better, improve your immune system and your joy of life.
List of new habits
1 – Stretching upon waking up: You no longer jump out of bed but take 2 minutes to wake up quietly and stretch while remaining in the present moment (mindfulness). You breathe in and out deeply, thinking about nothing but your movements and your breathing.
2 – Sun Salutation: Also known as “Surya Namaskar” in Sanskrit, is a dynamic sequence of movements and postures. It has several benefits for physical, mental and spiritual health, especially when practiced regularly upon waking. Here are some of its benefits:
Body Activation: The sun salutation involves a series of movements that stretch, flex and strengthen different muscle groups. This helps wake the body after a night’s sleep, stimulating blood circulation and increasing joint mobility
Look at my ‘Mastering the Sun Salutation Course’ on Udemy.
3 – Flexibility: Sun salutation postures involve stretches that promote flexibility in muscles and joints. Regular practice helps to gradually improve the flexibility of the body.
Improved posture: The movements of the sun salutation emphasize body alignment. By strengthening the muscles of the back and abdomen, it will help you improve your overall posture.
4 – Energy and vitality: The sun salutation is designed to synchronize breathing with movements. This coordination promotes the flow of energy through the body, which will help you revitalize and energize you.
Stimulation of the digestive system: Some of the movements of the sun salutation, such as forward bends, stimulate the internal organs, including the digestive system. This promotes better digestion and a more active metabolism.
5 – Stress reduction: The combination of conscious breathing and flowing movements has a calming effect on the nervous system. The morning practice of sun salutation helps reduce stress, anxiety and promote better management of emotions.
Mental Clarity: Morning sun salutation practice helps clear the mind and mentally prepare for the day ahead. The combination of movements and breathing helps focus attention and improve concentration.
You slowly do 10 repetitions of the sun salutation while focusing on each movement as well as your breathing. You take the time and stay fully aware of the present moment.
