However they may be more prone to severe strains or contribute to other problems such as back pain. In addition to an increased injury risk tight hamstrings may affect sports performance making some techniques difficult or impossible such as in high hurdling or martial arts techniques. Forcing a muscle to move at speed outside of its comfortable range will increase the chance of a muscle tear. Tight hamstrings explained The hamstring muscle group consists of the semitendinosus, semimembranosus and biceps femoris muscles. Tight hamstrings can cause the hips and pelvis to rotate back flattening the lower back and causing back problems. Tight hamstrings can also be responsible for postural problems and other back problems such as sacroiliac joint pain, as they will tend to pull the pelvis out of normal position. If your muscles have tightened up then blood has been squeezed out of them therefore your muscles are working at less than 100 % of capacity and your performance will be down as a result. Regular sports massage for hamstring muscles and hamstring stretching to improve muscle condition will not only reduce the likelihood of injury but may also improve sporting performance. The causes of tight hamstring muscles are varied. Genetics is one reason. You can be born with naturally short hamstrings when some people are naturally supple. In general women and children are more supple than men. Not enough stretching. If you participate in a lot of sport and do not stretch properly then you are more likely to have your hamstrings tighten up. It is especially important to stretch properly after exercise as this is when the muscles are warm and more receptive to stretching. If you tend to make a beeline for the bar after your game of football think about spending 10 minutes stretching first. Problems in your lower back can put pressure on your sciatic nerve which runs down the legs and cause muscles to tighten. The normal range of hip flexion measured when laying flat on your back and raising the leg straight off the floor knee straight permitted by the hamstrings is in the region of 80-90 degrees. Anything less than 80 degrees is considered tight. Stretching the hamstring muscles Even if you are not naturally supple you can still improve your flexibility by stretching. Types of stretching include dynamic, static, passive, PNF and CRAC. Avoid ballistic stretching which is bouncing and forcing the muscle to go further than is comfortable and will damage it. Sports massage can help in loosening tight muscles. Have a regular sports massage on the legs.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Back Pain]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/BackPain/lower-back-pain-due-to-tight-hamstrings</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/BackPain/lower-back-pain-due-to-tight-hamstrings</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 18 Oct 2025 01:51:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Strengthen Your Lower back</title> <description>The lower back is one of the most fragile areas of your body.

And if it doesn't get proper attention through strength training, serious pain and physical problems can leak through the entire muscular system. People who sit for long periods of time typically have it the worst. Overactivity developed in their hips from being at the office desk all day or binge-watching Netflix for hours can lead to a natural breakdown of muscle that supports the lower back. My goal as a trainer is to make sure that each client training with me never goes through that. During each training session we work on a series of different static core exercises — which are resistance exercises without movement — that make the core and lower back strong. The muscles responsible for supporting the back are positioned so deeply inside your body that they don't directly respond to dynamic exercises, like sit-ups or squats. Here are my top two movements that help keep your back strong. Plank Start in a push-up position with your back flat, tight abs and squeezed glutes. Lower your forearms to the ground. Your elbows should be directly below your shoulders, and your hands should be flat, palms down. Do several sets, holding the position for 30 seconds, then resting for 30 seconds. If you are unable to maintain that posture, remain in a push-up position or bring your knees to the ground (rather than just your toes) or do both. Side plank These are great, because they target the sides of your stomach attached to the back that are often neglected. Lay on your side and prop yourself up, onto your elbow. Your hip should be off the ground, so your body forms a diagonal line. Do several sets, holding the position for 30 seconds, then resting for 30 seconds. Be sure to switch sides. If you are overcoming an injury or a beginner, make sure your health professional gives you the OK to experiment with these exercises. It's always good to push yourself stronger, but safety and proper progression are always first. Keep working hard and have fun on your journey to better health and fitness.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Back Pain]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/BackPain/strengthen-your-lower-back</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/BackPain/strengthen-your-lower-back</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 08 Oct 2025 01:47:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>All Asanas</title> <description>Why a new Guide?

If you’ve used the Guide before, you know it’s always been chock full of helpful content to teach you the how and why of using Asana. From creating your first to task, to tips on introducing Asana to your entire team, the Guide is your go-to resource for learning Asana. But for many, Asana represents an entirely new way of working, and we often get the question: What is the best way to use Asana? So, we studied how our most successful customers get up to speed and onboard their team. Then we updated the Guide based on that journey so it can be yours, too. We studied how our most successful organizations learn Asana, and updated the Guide based on their journey—so it can be yours, too. A clear journey Through our research, we learned that many of our most successful customers adopt Asana in three distinct phases: First, a new user learns the basics for themselves, and invites a couple of trusted teammates to use Asana with them. Then they introduce Asana to the rest of their team, helping their teammates along the way. Finally, they begin using Asana for more types of work within their team, or even across different teams at their company. We rebuilt the Asana Guide to better map to that journey, breaking the content down into three sections so it’s clear where to go for the information you need at each stage. We also added design elements to better orient you along this journey. Within the three main sections of the Guide, you can see which articles you’ve already read and track your progress along the way (remind you of anything? :wink: ). The new design also matches the look and feel of our recently re-designed product and blog for a simple and clear reading experience. Resources to share with your team As we learned more about our customers, it became clear that having educational resources to share is critical to getting teammates up and running. The new Guide has an entire section of resources with videos, checklists, presentations, email templates, and more to equip you with the materials you need to get your teammates on board. Examples to inspire you Finally, because we know there almost a million and one ways to use Asana, we added a dedicated section to showcase some of them. It has examples of projects you can create for various types of teams—including marketing, engineering and product management, human resources, and more. You’ll find step-by-step instructions for how to create these workflows in Asana, and can learn about more powerful functionality to further customize Asana for your team.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Asanas]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/Asanas/all-asanas</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/Asanas/all-asanas</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 28 Sep 2025 01:44:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Benefits of Yoga Posture</title> <description>As a long-time yoga enthusiast, I’m always happy to hear about benefits newly attributed to this ancient practice.

Doing yoga for a few hours each week helps me feel calmer and more balanced, both physically and mentally. Now, new research suggests that my habit also may be helping my heart. A review of yoga and cardiovascular disease published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology indicates that yoga may help lower heart disease risk as much as conventional exercise, such as brisk walking. As I write in the April issue of the Harvard Heart Letter , the studies in the review looked at different types of yoga, including both gentler and more energetic forms. The participants ranged from young, healthy individuals to older people with health conditions. Over all, people who took yoga classes saw improvements in a number of factors that affect heart disease risk. They lost an average of five pounds, shaved five points off their blood pressure, and lowered their levels of harmful LDL cholesterol by 12 points. The findings came as no surprise to Dr. Gloria Yeh, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and co-author of the review article. “Yoga is unique because it incorporates physical activity, breathing, and meditation, ” says Dr. Yeh. As she explains, each of these elements positively affects cardiovascular risk factors, so combining them was bound to show a benefit. In addition, two other ancient practices that join slow, flowing motions with deep breathing — tai chi and qigong — seem to offer similar advantages. Performing a variety of yoga postures gently stretches and exercises muscles. This helps them become more sensitive to insulin, which is important for controlling blood sugar. Deep breathing can help lower blood pressure. Mind-calming meditation, another key part of yoga, quiets the nervous system and eases stress. All of these improvements may help prevent heart disease, and can definitely help people with cardiovascular problems. Most yoga classes end with a few minutes of meditation, often done while lying flat on your back with your eyes closed. This pose is called savasana. Some teachers say that yoga stretches and postures release energy, making it easier for you to relax into a meditative state. I certainly find that to be true. Whenever I meditate, I still recall what one of my favorite teachers used to say at the beginning of savasana: “Nowhere to go. Nothing to do. Just relax.” Because yoga is less strenuous than many other types of exercise and is easy to modify, it’s perfect for people who might otherwise be wary of exercise, says Dr. Yeh. It can be a good addition to cardiac rehabilitation, which can help people recover from a heart attack or heart surgery. Christie Kuo, a registered nurse at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital, integrates yoga into the cardiovascular rehabilitation and heart disease prevention classes she teaches there. The muscle stretching encouraged by yoga postures is a good way to cool down after walking, cycling, or other aerobic conditioning, says Kuo, while deep breathing and meditation also help. “Paying attention to your breathing is important during the strength-training part of rehab. And the mindfulness and greater awareness from the meditation can help you cope with the stress of your illness, eat more healthfully, and sleep more soundly, all of which help your recovery, ” she says. If you’re new to yoga, consider starting with a beginner or “gentle” class, especially if you’re over 65 or have any medical conditions. Two of the most popular forms of yoga taught in the United States, hatha and Iyengar, are good choices for beginners. Hatha yoga features gentle, slow, smooth movement, with a focus on integrating breathing with movement. Iyengar is similar but places more emphasis on body alignment and balance, and uses props such as straps, blankets, and blocks. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health offers tips on choosing a yoga or other alternative therapy teacher. To my mind, a good teacher always asks, “Are there any injuries or conditions I should know about before we get started?” The best ones speak with each student personally while people are rolling out their mats and setting up. If you can, try a few different classes with different teachers to find the best fit for you.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Improve Posture]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/ImprovePosture/benefits-of-yoga-posture</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/ImprovePosture/benefits-of-yoga-posture</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 18 Sep 2025 01:42:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Hatha Yoga Poses and Names</title> <description>Sanskrit (English) Yoga Asanas Learn how to perform a variety of yoga postures.

We have a complete list of many yoga poses with detailed explanations and pictures for you to practice yoga at home. For a complete yoga lesson you can start your session with some loosening postures as a warm up, then you can perform a combination of lying and sitting postures, these can include back bending and twisting poses, followed by balancing and standing postures, and finish with some inverted postures. You can then complete your yoga lesson workout with a few minutes of relaxation. Some terms in Sanskrit are repeatedly used in the names of asanas. Generally these are prefixes and can be used on any pose to explain a variation. Ardha means half, Supta means reclining, Adho means downward, Parivrtta means revolved or twisted, Urdhva means upward, Utthita means extended.

You've probably heard a lot about the benefits of yoga, ranging from stress relief to improved flexibility. A 2003 article in "Yoga Journal" estimated that around 15 million Americans regularly practice yoga. Yoga is becoming increasingly popular as more and more people learn about concepts such as mindfulness and experience the benefits of physical postures, known as asanas. Asanas are often categorized based on type and specific mental and physical benefits. Standing Poses The category of standing asanas includes a broad array of poses that are performed while in a standing position, each providing specific benefits for physical wellness. Standing poses can involve developing balance and coordination, as in the Tree pose; strength, as in the Warrior series or the Chair pose; or flexibility, as in the Triangle pose. Certain standing poses have a therapeutic focus, such as the Half-moon pose, which can alleviate back pain, or the Eagle, which is believed to increase sexual energy, according to Bikram Yoga NYC. Forward Bends Forward bends are postures that can be performed in either a standing or seated position. In a forward bend, you literally bend your body forward to bring your head lower than your heart. Standing and most seated forward bends increase flexibility in your hamstrings and stretch your back. Forward bending asanas include poses such as Standing Forward Bend, the Big Toe pose, and Wide-angle pose. Forward bends are believed to help improve digestion, promote relaxation, reduce stress and massage your internal organs. Backbends Backbending postures are poses that involve arching your back to expand your chest and shoulders, generally performed in a supine or seated position. The backbending asana series includes poses such as the Bow, Camel, Cobra and Locust. Backbends help stretch your chest and shoulder muscles, open up your spine, reduce lower back pain and and improve spinal and cervical flexibility. Twists Twisting postures are performed in a standing, seated or supine position and focus on rotating your torso and spine. Twists are believed to promote hip and spinal flexibility, alleviate certain back conditions such as sciatica and lower back pain, increase circulation to your spinal nerves, veins and tissues and improve digestion. The Seated Twist, Revolved Chair, Revolved Triangle and the Half Lord of the Fishes pose are examples of common twisting asanas. Twists can impart a feeling of being wrung out your body, resulting in feelings of clarity, vitality and ease, according to "Yoga Journal." Inversions Inversions are arguably some of the most challenging yoga poses to perform. During an inversion, you usually invert your body upside-down to bring your head lower than your heart or, in a few examples, your feet higher than your head. Yoga inversions include postures such as the headstand, shoulder stand and Rabbit pose. Inversions are believed to provide a host of benefits, including promoting circulation to your upper body, encouraging more efficient respiration and increasing lymph flow, according to "Yoga Journal."</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Improve Posture]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/ImprovePosture/yoga-posture-and-their-benefits</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/ImprovePosture/yoga-posture-and-their-benefits</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 29 Aug 2025 01:37:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Best Lower</title> <description>Mattress shopping is more of an art than a science, but here are some hints on how to find the best mattress for your lower back pain: Article continues below A Medium-Firm Mattress May Be Best Sleeping on the wrong mattress can ...</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/the_25_best_exercises_for_your.jpg" alt="The 25 best exercises for your lower abs" align="left" /><p>Mattress shopping is more of an art than a science, but here are some hints on how to find the best mattress for your lower back pain: Article continues below A Medium-Firm Mattress May Be Best Sleeping on the wrong mattress can not only worsen your lower back pain—it may be the cause of it. A lack of mattress support can strain your muscles and lead to the misalignment of your spine, both of which may contribute to your lower back pain. No single type of mattress works best for everyone, but many people find the most relief from their back pain with a medium-firm mattress. This type of mattress can provide good support for the natural curvature of your spine, and may help you avoid muscle soreness upon waking up. Before you commit to a medium-firm mattress, consider the following two tips: Purchase a mattress in-store rather than online. This will allow you the chance to try out each mattress—though only for a brief period of time. Purchase a mattress with a 30-day return guarantee. This will allow you to try out your new mattress risk-free, as you may find your new mattress uncomfortable after a few nights. Consider an adjustable bed An adjustable bed is a base that allows you to sleep at different angles. Typically, you will also need to purchase a new mattress that is compatible with an adjustable bed. Different sleep positions may work best for people depending on their lower back conditions, but if your lower back pain is caused by osteoarthritis an adjustable bed may be right for you. A good way to test if you may benefit from an adjustable bed is to sleep in a reclining chair overnight. If this helps relieve your pain, it may be time to purchase an adjustable bed and compatible mattress. In addition to an adjustable bed, you can also purchase specially designed pillows that support your back in a reclining position as you sleep. It’s true that a new mattress can be a sizeable investment—but it may be worth it if it can provide meaningful relief from your lower back pain.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Yoga Terms And Meanings]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/YogaTermsAndMeanings/best-lower</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/YogaTermsAndMeanings/best-lower</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 19 Aug 2025 01:36:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Back and Spine Stretch</title> <description>The spine is a masterpiece of engineering.

The four curves of the spine and their varying shapes perfectly balance the two primary functions of our skeletal system: stability and mobility. The spine is made up of four curves. The cervical spine is the topmost curve. It is comprised of seven vertebrae in the neck. Below it, the 12 thoracic vertebrae form the curve to which the ribs attach. The low back, or lumbar curve, is made up of five vertebrae, the largest bodied vertebrae of the spine. And the bottommost curve is comprised of five fused vertebrae in the sacrum followed by four fused vertebrae in the coccyx. This bottommost curve of the spine joins with the pelvis and serves as the back of the pelvic bowl. The cervical and lumbar spines are concave curves, and the thoracic and sacral spines are convex curves. This spring-loaded design of alternating curves provides natural shock absorbing and helps us to maintain balance, as the curves can deepen or lengthen as needed as we maneuver through our day. In addition, the vertebrae in each curve of the spine have slight variations in shape to facilitate four primary actions. Here’s how this works as you flow through your yoga poses (asanas). Photo Credit: Kyle Sorensen Asana: Cat Pose Action of the Spine: Flexion In Cat Pose, hands and knees are on the mat with shoulders stacked above wrists and hips over knees. As you press down into your arms and legs and hollow out the front of your body, the spine rounds into flexion. Here, the bellybutton hugs up to the spine, the tailbone drops down, and the chin draws into the chest. The flexion in Cat Pose occurs as the thoracic curve deepens its natural convexity (also known as kyphosis), though this range of motion is partially limited in the top thoracic vertebrae to reduce interference with respiration. Additionally, the shapes of the cervical and lumbar vertebrae allow the neck and low back join in flexion. Asana: Cow Pose Action of the Spine: Extension Cow Pose, a counter pose to Cat, exercises extension of the spine. As you turn your pelvis forward, lift your sit bones, soften your middle and lower back toward the floor, and open your collarbones and throat toward the front of your mat. The extension in Cow Pose is achieved as the lumbar and cervical spines deepen into their natural concavity (also known as lordosis). Though the shape of the thoracic vertebrae do not allow for as much extension in the thoracic spine, it's important to energetically spread the extension through the length of the spine so that the pressure of extension does not compound only in the lower back. For many, the thoracic spine may feel immobile, but thoracic extension is possible to a small degree. Asana: Crescent Moon Action of the Spine: Lateral Flexion In Crescent Moon, the pelvis and legs anchor into the earth through parallel feet, and the trunk of the body assumes a C-shaped curve to the side. Counterbalance the lean of your lateral flexion by energetically committing weight into your opposite foot. Lateral flexion is achieved with great freedom in the cervical and lumbar spinal curves, and to a lesser degree in the thoracic spine, as side bending is partially limited by the resistance of the rib cage and sternum. Asana: Half Lord of the Fishes Action of the Spine: Rotation Half Lord of the Fishes pose is a seated twist for the spine. From a seated position with your legs extended forward, step one foot across your opposite knee and bend your bottom leg to tuck your foot near your opposite hip. Root down into your sit bones to lengthen your spine upward. At your tallest, twist toward your top leg. Hug your front leg or pin your elbow across your thigh. The rotation of this pose is achieved in the thoracic and cervical spines, as the shape of the lumbar vertebrae allow for limited rotation in order to preserve stability. Begin twisting from behind the bellybutton, and allow the twist to spiral up your spine until at last the head turns with the chin parallel to the floor.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Stretches]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/Stretches/back-and-spine-stretch</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/Stretches/back-and-spine-stretch</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 09 Aug 2025 01:36:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Good Stretch for back pain</title> <description>Years ago I was in the middle of my yoga practice, legs wide apart, bending deeply down over my right leg in Upavistha Konasana (Wide-Angle Seated Forward Bend) when I heard it—a popping sound in my left lower back, like a wine ...</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/exercise_ball_workouts_for_back_pain.jpg" alt="Exercise Ball Workouts for Back Pain" align="left" /><p>Years ago I was in the middle of my yoga practice, legs wide apart, bending deeply down over my right leg in Upavistha Konasana (Wide-Angle Seated Forward Bend) when I heard it—a popping sound in my left lower back, like a wine bottle being opened. Alarmed, I came up but only noticed a dull ache over my sacrum. I shrugged it off and finished my session relatively unfazed. But it didn't go away. In fact, I was plagued with recurring bouts of pain. At the time I was in physical therapy school and had easy access to an orthopedist. His examination revealed little, and when I demonstrated the pose at his request, he smiled and expressed skepticism that I had lower back pain at all. Needless to say I felt somewhat hopeless about understanding what was causing this nagging pain. I continued to seek medical help over the next few years and even consulted with chiropractors and massage therapists. My chiropractor finally diagnosed my pain as being caused by my sacroiliac joint, but he had little success in treating it. To my surprise, the pain was finally resolved at the place where it first occurred: my yoga mat. I noticed that when I began to take particular care with my pelvic alignment during yoga poses, especially in twists and forward bends, the pain and discomfort went away. That extra care and attention were the final piece that helped me understand the puzzle of my sacroiliac joint. Although my practice caused my sacroiliac pain, it was also the best medicine when it came to not only healing it but also preventing any future problems. Casing the Joint Lower back pain has been around as long as men and women have walked upright. In fact, approximately 80 percent of people experience some form of lower back pain, including sacroiliac pain, during their lifetime—although there are no definitive statistics on how many experience sacroiliac pain specifically. Part of the difficulty is there is no way to objectively measure the degree to which the sacroiliac joint is "out." In fact, there are some health professionals—like my orthopedist—who debate whether the SI joint contributes significantly to lower back pain at all.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Stretches]]></category> <link>https://www.lamuworld.com/Stretches/good-stretch-for-back-pain</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.lamuworld.com/Stretches/good-stretch-for-back-pain</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 30 Jul 2025 01:23:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Lower back Stretch</title> <description>Stretching before and after golfing and other physical activity decreases the chance of injury.
