Yoga for Spine Health

As the part of evolution, we humans became bipedal, i.e. we started walking on two legs instead of four.

Front legs became hands and spine became erect.

The erect spine bears the load of the body in addition to the gravitational pull.

(During pregnancy, due to increase in the tummy, pregnant ladies feel spinal discomfort.)

With advancement in our culture came COMPUTERS, LAPTOPS AND MOBILES.

So erect spine started bending due to these gadgets and what we see nowadays is an EPIDEMIC of spinal problems.

Reason being less than adequate care of our physical and mental self.

Yoga helps to strengthen the spine, to keep the body fit and refresh the mind from the stress of work.
