HOW TO DO SEATED BACK EXTENSION
SPHINX STRETCH
Hold the pose for up to 10 breaths. To release, exhale slowly as you lower your torso, chest, and head to the floor.
SPHINX POSE BENEFITS
The Sphinx pose is a beneficial yoga posture for opening the upper body and enhancing strength and mobility in the mid-back and thoracic spine.
Mid-Back and Thoracic Spine Mobility: Sphinx pose helps improve flexibility and mobility in the mid-back and thoracic spine, fostering a greater range of motion in these areas.
Erector Spinae Strengthening: This pose strengthens the erector spinae muscles, which support the spine. Strengthening these muscles can help prevent postural deviations such as kyphosis (hunchback) and promote better posture and comfort.
Posture Improvement: By extending the back muscles and reducing tension between the lower back and core, Sphinx pose enhances posture, reducing the risk of poor posture-related discomfort.
Enhanced Lower Back Strength: Sphinx pose also strengthens the lower back, making it easier to maintain an upright posture throughout the day.
