There are many back-bending yoga<\/a> postures that work to enhance spinal flexibility. Not only do these poses work to boost energy levels, but they also correct your posture. Certain poses are more advanced than others, such as camel pose<\/strong>, and they need to be practiced with proper form and care. To avoid injury, yogis recommend warming up prior to engaging camel pose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Camel Pose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Considered an advanced asana, camel pose represents the resemblance your body makes to a camel\u2019s hump during the posture. It is a deep backbend that is energizing in nature<\/a>, working to increase circulation<\/a> throughout the entire body. In doing so, camel pose can help wake up the nervous system, while simultaneously stretching the spine and the muscles along the front of the body. Those are the muscles that surround your chest, abdomen, hip flexors, and quads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Can Do Camel Pose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter what your experience with yoga is, you should never enter camel pose without warming up beforehand. By loosening up the hips<\/a>, spine, and front of your body before camel pose, you reduce your risk of injury during the pose. If you have chronic issues with your knees, shoulders, neck or back, avoid camel pose. If you have abdominal separation (diastasis recti), do not practice camel pose. There are various supported versions of this pose that may be safer for some people, for example, pregnant persons. Lastly, do not practice camel pose if you have pain or instability in the lower back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
