Adbominals (Navasana Series)

Abdominal Poses Beginners/General

The important thing with these programmes is to work mindfully. They are very strengthening but require absolute attention to the correct actions in the lower back and pelvis.

Do not attempt these programmes during menstruation. If you suffer from back pain, please consult with us before attempting these. There may be amendments you should make.
