3. Counter Poses

4. introduction A counterpose in yoga is a posture that helps neutralize the body after performing a particular pose . Its purpose is  to restore balance in the body , especially in the spine and pelvis . Very often a counterpose will integrate the action of the preceding posture, but in a neutralizing (and sometimes opposing) manner. .​ 4

5. Counter pose & potentialities 20XX presentation title 5 Every action has a potentially positive and potentially negative outcome. Counterposes are designed to minimize any potential negative effects of previous asanas. If you’ve done a forward bend, you want to minimize potentially negative effects (strain in the back from forward flexion, tension in the front of the body from contraction, excessive inward focus, de-emphasis of inhalation etc). If you do a back bend, you don’t negate the effects of the forward bend (if you’re doing the right counterpose). You simply mitigate against any unwanted and unhelpful consequences of practicing it. Which brings me to my next point.

7. Is there anything ?

8. Primary goals When you bend a paper clip and immediately bend it in the opposite direction, over and over again, it gets weaker and weaker until…snap! There’s a common misconception in yoga that when you practice big poses, you should do the opposite movement right away. This is known as counter posing. For example, after you practice a big  backbend , such as  Wheel  or  Camel Pose,  the counter pose would be a  forward bend . Counter poses help to physically and energetically balance the effects of big poses—hopefully without negating the benefits . While you might have experienced immediate counter poses in classes, such as drawing your knees to your chest immediately after a big backbend, what if you paused after a big pose and instead went very gradually in the opposite direction? What if you first identified what specific parts of your body need the counter pose instead of simply conforming your entire body into the opposite shape of what you just did? Your body is more resilient than a paper clip, but you get the idea: You don’t have to put your body through extremes. Let’s find a middle ground, shall we?

10. POSTURE IS CONTROLLED BY THE NERVOUS SYSTEM 20XX presentation title 10 Luckily for us, scientific research has explored these exact questions. A systematic review ( Hrysomallis 2001) took a thorough look at studies on realigning posture through exercise and reported the following: exercise will lead to postural deviations are lacking. It is likely that exercise programs are of insufficient duration and frequency to induce adaptive changes in muscle-tendon length. Additionally, any adaptations from restricted range-of-movement exercise would likely be offset by daily living activities that frequently require the body segments to go through full ranges of motion.” Our nervous system is what sets the resting tone of our muscles and therefore creates our posture. Our muscles are actually completely subservient to the nervous system; muscles don’t contract and relax on their own behalf.

11. 20XX presentation title 11 STRENGTHENING DOESN’T SHORTEN OUR TISSUES STRETCHING DOESN’T LENGTHEN OUR TISSUES Once we understand that stretching and strengthening exercises don’t change posture (and that static posture doesn’t tell us whether specific muscles are flexible, tight, strong, or weak to begin with), we can start to let go of the idea that common posture patterns that we see are the result of tight muscles pulling on bones and long, weak muscles allowing those bones to be pulled. Strengthening muscles doesn’t actually make them short and tight. In fact, when we strengthen muscles through their full range of motion, this can surprisingly increase our flexibility just as efficiently as passive stretching alone can!
