Clear FiltersSkandha Chakra
स्कंध चक्र
Shoulder rotation. One of the most important preparatory exercises, releasing the chronic tension stored in the shoulder girdle and upper back. Addresses the most common modern postural complaint — hunched, rounded shoulders.
Greeva Sanchalana
ग्रीवा संचालना
Neck movements — the complete series of cervical spine mobility exercises. Forward-back, side-to-side, and rotational movements. Releases the neck tension that is the primary cause of headaches and shoulder pain.
Single Leg Raises
एकपाद उत्तानासन
Supine single leg raises. The foundational core-strengthening exercise, targeting the lower abdominals and hip flexors while the spine remains supported. Excellent preparation for Navasana and inversions.
Double Leg Raises
द्विपाद उत्तानासन
Supine double leg raises. A more demanding core exercise that strengthens the entire anterior chain. Develops the abdominal strength required for Sarvangasana, Halasana, and advanced inversions.
Nauka Sanchalana
नौका संचालना
Rowing the boat. A seated circular movement mimicking rowing, massaging the abdominal organs and loosening the entire spine from sacrum to cervical. Excellent for constipation and sluggish digestion.
Cat-Cow Mobilisation
मार्जरी आसन तैयारी
Spinal mobilisation in table-top position. Cat-Cow alternates between flexion and extension of the entire spine, lubricating the vertebral discs, releasing spinal tension, and establishing the breath-movement connection.
Supine Spinal Twist Prep
मर्कटासन तैयारी
Lying spinal rotation. A gentle supine twist that decompresses and rotates the entire spinal column from base to neck. Releases the muscles of the lower back and ribs, and stimulates intestinal peristalsis.
Pelvic Tilts
श्रोणि झुकाव
Supine pelvic mobility exercise. Develops awareness and control of the lumbo-pelvic rhythm — the relationship between the pelvis and lower back. Foundation of all core stabilisation and the most important exercise for chronic lower back pain.
Standing Side Waist Stretch
पार्श्व कमर खिंचाव
Lateral stretch of the side body — the intercostal muscles, latissimus dorsi, and quadratus lumborum. Increases breathing capacity and relieves the compression of organs from prolonged sitting.
Seated Spinal Roll
बैठा रीढ़ की हड्डी रोल
Sequential rolling through the spine — from sacrum to neck and back. Massages each vertebra against the floor, stimulates the spinal nerves, and relieves compression accumulated through daily life.
Standing Hip Rotation
खड़े हो कर कूल्हे का घुमाव
Circular rotation of the hips in a standing position. Loosens the sacroiliac joint, massages the lumbar spine, and stimulates the digestive organs. A natural, intuitive movement that the body craves after sitting.
