Yoga for Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is a general term for age-related wear and tear affecting the spinal disks in your neck (cervical vertebra) region.

This degeneration of the bones and cartilage causes chronic neck pain and can disrupt simple day-to-day activities Youngsters are also prone to this condition due to lifestyle changes and a sedentary life. Sitting in an uncomfortable posture for extended periods, spinal or neck injuries, slip-disk, and obesity are also known to contribute to the pain. Yoga is a natural and holistic remedy for cervical spondylosis. Do not practice if suffering from severe neck pain, swelling or vertigo.

Practicing Yoga helps develop the body and mind, yet is not a substitute for medicine. It is essential to learn and practice yoga under the supervision of a trained Yoga teacher. In case of any medical condition, practice yoga only after consulting your doctor.

Trikonasana - Triangle Pose

 Trikonasana gets its name from the Sanskrit words "Trikona” meaning “triangle,” while “asana” means “pose.”

Trikonasana is an elementary yoga pose that can benefit both your physical and mental health. Make sure you have done a good warm up exercise of the whole body before you do the asana. Avoid doing this pose if you are suffering from migraine, diarrhea, low or high blood pressure, or neck and back injuries. If suffering from high blood pressure may do this pose but without raising their hand overhead, as this may further raise the blood pressure.
