Yoga Body Workout Series with Julia Marie Season 1 Episode 4 No Pressure On Wrists

As we all know, maintaining a good posture is crucial for a healthy body. However, sitting in front of a screen all day at work often leads to slouching, which can have adverse effects on our bodies in the long run. In this episode of Yoga Body Workout Series with Julia Marie, we focus on maintaining the correct posture while performing yoga postures.

The episode starts with a warm-up series specifically designed to loosen up the wrists. Most yoga postures require supporting the weight of the body on the wrists, which can put strain on the joints. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that our wrists are adequately warmed up, so we do not injure them. The warm-up series is simple and easy to follow. Even beginners can do it.

Once we're done with the warm-up, Julia introduces us to a few yoga poses that require no pressure on the wrists. She begins with the tree pose or Vrikshasana, which involves standing on one leg and placing the other foot on the inner thigh of the standing leg. The variations of the tree pose enable us to maintain a good posture without putting any pressure on the wrists.

Next up, she introduces us to the Airplane pose or Dekasana. In this pose, we balance on one leg and extend the other leg backward, just like an airplane. The pose is excellent for strengthening the core muscles, and since there is no pressure on the wrists in this pose, it helps in maintaining a good posture effortlessly.

Julia then moves on to the Chair Pose or Utkatasana. In this pose, we mimic sitting on an imaginary chair while keeping our arms extended upwards. The pose is excellent for strengthening the lower body and abdominal muscles. With Julia's guidance, we learn how to hold the pose while maintaining a good posture without putting pressure on the wrists.

After that, we move on to the Warrior Pose or Virabhadrasana. The pose requires us to open the hips by taking a wide stance and lunging forward with one leg. The upper body is twisted towards the front leg, and the arms are extended to the sides. By the end of the pose, we feel a stretch in the hips and thighs and have worked on our balance without straining the wrists.

Julia concludes the episode with the Corpse Pose or Shavasana. In this pose, we lie down on our backs with our eyes closed, and our hands extended to the sides. Julia guides us through a meditation to relax our minds and bodies. Although it seems simple, the Corpse Pose is the most crucial part of any yoga practice. It gives our body time to relax and helps us reap the benefits of the yoga postures we have performed.

In this episode of Yoga Body Workout Series with Julia Marie, we learned how to maintain a good posture while practicing yoga. With the help of different yoga postures and Julia's guidance, we understood how to perform the postures without putting any pressure on the wrists. It is essential to know how to maintain the correct posture while practicing yoga to avoid any injuries or harm to the body. Overall, the episode was informative and essential for anyone looking to start with yoga or improve their practice.
