Want to play football? Practise yoga to keep yourself fit

Yoga is extremely beneficial to all sports, football included. Various breathing techniques help expand lung capacity, which improves the overall stamina, preventing injuries and MUSCLE CRAMPS. Yoga actually helps tune the player to focus on the game, handling pressure, restoring energy, will power, and confidence, because it trains the mind as much as it trains the body. Many people have the misconception that yoga is only for certain people. But that is not true. Whatever your favourite sport is, you can continue to practice that, and spend a few minutes on yoga. It will raise your performance level. As Qatar looks forward to bigger football events in the future, I thought this article will be insightful for people who love football. Tight hamstrings are perhaps one of the biggest worries for a player. Also, when you need to unleash your kick, you need a very good follow-through of the leg (flexibility) to go with extremely toned thighs (strength). Watch David Beckham or Ronaldinho take a free-kick to appreciate the need for flexibility, balance and strength! There are a lot of postures that can help you attain these, but here, I will show three basic moves which you can practise. A player's performance always depends on the efficiency of the body and mind. Nowhere is this more evident than in the sport of football. These postures, if practised regularly, will go a long way in achieving and maintaining that synergy. Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) \u9679? Lie full length on the floor on the stomach. Face downwards and rest the palms by the side of chest, the fingers straight and pointing in the direction of the head. \u9679? With an exhalation, raise the body from the waist. Keep the arms straight and move the head inwards towards the feet, trying to keep the crown of the head as close to the floor as possible. If you can't, just do as much as your body allows you to. \u9679? Keep both legs straight and don't bend the knees. Try to keep the heels and soles on the floor and feel the stretch in both legs and shoulders. \u9679? While holding the pose, breathe slowly for 10 to 30 seconds. \u9679? Once you finish, lower the whole body with an exhalation. \u9679? Do 3 to 5 rounds Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana) \u9679? Lie full length on the floor on the stomach. Keep the face downwards and rest the palms by the side of chest. Keep the elbows on either side of the body, with the fingers straight and pointing in the direction of the head. \u9679? With an inhalation, lift the chin, head and chest up. Try to arch and lift the entire torso up till the navel. If you have better flexibility, you can arch more without giving pressure to the lower back. \u9679? While in the pose, breathe slowly. Maintain the position for 10 to 30 seconds \u9679? With exhalation, lower the chin, head and chest back to the floor \u9679? Can do 3 to 5 rounds Triangle pose(Trikonasana) \u9679? Stand erect with the feet more than shoulder-width apart. Turn the right foot to the right side. \u9679? Inhale and stretch the arms sideways and raise them to shoulder level, so that they are in one straight line. \u9679? While exhaling, bend to the right. Take care not to bring the body forward and keep the hips and knees straight. \u9679? Place the right palm comfortably on the right foot, or if you can keep the full palm on the floor, you can attempt that as well. \u9679? Do the same sequence with your left side (right and left together is one round. You can do 5 to 8 rounds).

Yoga for migraine

Keep migraine at bay

I've had many students ask for a simple yoga solution for migraine. That's what made me to write this article. I'm sure all of us have dealt with a thumping headache from time to time. Some others have had to endure it for longer periods. The funny thing about migraine is that it's three times more likely to affect women than men and usually strikes adults between the ages of 20 and 50. Migraine is a vascular headache caused by the inflammation and irritation of the nerve endings, resulting from the expansion of the blood vessels on the surface of the brain. It is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, mood changes, sensitivity to light and/or sound and tunnel vision (dizziness). Pain may be felt on one or both sides of the head, in the neck, around the eyes, on the face, or around the sinuses. And when you get that typical headache, suddenly the only thing that matters is relieving that tension as fast as possible. But if you're looking for a solution outside the pill, you could consider a yogic breathing exercise. With the ability to help relieving tension, boosting circulation, and calming the mind, yoga can be a powerful natural remedy for headaches, and especially, migraine. With yoga, you can increase the oxygen and the blood flow going to the brain. Normally, most of the time we are standing or sitting, and gravity pulls the blood down towards our feet. So it's a good idea to get that flow going up in the opposite direction towards the brain just by doing simple easy yogic breathing called 'Brahmari Pranayama'. This breathing technique involves humming during the practice, which creates a vibration. Due to the humming concentration of the mind is also facilitated. It has a positive effect on the whole body and mind, and particularly on the nervous system, increasing the blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain. How to * Sit in a relaxed posture * Cover your ears by pressing the cartilage with the help of your thumbs. * Place your index fingers on the forehead. With the remaining fingers, close your eyes. * Ensure that you are not putting your thumb inside the ear but on the cartilage. * Don't press the cartilage too hard. It should be gentle. (Closing two senses eyes and ears can make us feel and experience the small sound inside us as a big vibration) * Inhale through both nostrils * Exhale with a slight humming sound:"MMM" * While humming, keep your mouth closed. * And inhale and continue the same for 10 to 20 times (But do not overdo it)

Pilates in doha

Pilates is an exercise system developed by Joseph Pilates to strengthen muscles, increase flexibility and improve overall health. The deep core muscles which are the foundation of the Pilates exercises are the deep internal muscles of the abdomen, back and pelvic floor. Pilates trains the core muscles to become strong and work correctly with the more superficial muscles of the body resulting in efficient, painless movement. With increased core strength, stability in the entire body is achieved, which assists with a reduction of pain with movement and an improvement of physical performance.Exercises are performed on a mat and with equipment . The Pilates system includes exercises for every part of the body and applications for every kind of activity. Created in the early part of the 20th century, Pilates was so far ahead of it’s time that it did not begin to achieve popular recognition until the first few years of the 21st century. Over 10 million people are now practicing Pilates in the United States and the numbers are growing every year.The Pilates method focuses on quality over quantity. Pilates exercises do not include a lot of repetitions for each move but alternatively each exercise is done with precision. This achieves significant results in a shorter time than one would ever imagine.
