I recently had the pleasure of attending a 3-day Yoga Retreat in Alibaug, where I learned something truly unique: the art of making Yoga sustainable through what’s called 5 MINUTE YOGA. During the retreat, we were taught five simple yet powerful asanas that take just five minutes to practice daily, but the impact is remarkable:
- Tadasana – stretching up on toes with hands raised.
- Tiryaka Tadasana – bending sideways with hands up.
- Kati Chakrasana – twisting with outstretched arms.
- Marjariasana (Cat and Camel Pose) – these two poses combined.
It’s been a couple of weeks since then, and I genuinely feel amazing. The stiffness I’d been carrying is gone, and my health feels revitalized. Each of these poses targets specific areas—focusing on twisting, turning, and bending the spine—and collectively, they address 80% of the physical issues many people face, as Aziz and Misbah so eloquently explained.
Thank you, Aziz and Misbah, for this life-changing experience! If you're looking to rejuvenate and bring lasting health benefits with minimal daily commitment, I highly recommend getting in touch with Aziz on WhatsApp (+91 98198 23455) to join his next Yoga retreat. You won’t regret it.
Tadasana (Palm Tree Pose):
Description: Stand upright with feet together, arms at your sides. Raise your arms overhead, interlocking your fingers, and stretch upward onto your toes, elongating the spine.
Tiryaka Tadasana (Swaying Palm Tree Pose):
Description: From Tadasana, keep your feet shoulder-width apart. Raise your arms overhead, interlocking your fingers. Bend sideways from the waist to the right, then to the left, stretching the sides of your torso.
Kati Chakrasana (Standing Spinal Twist Pose):
Description: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Extend your arms forward at shoulder level, palms facing each other. Twist your torso to the right, bringing your left hand to your right shoulder and wrapping your right arm around your back. Repeat on the other side.
Marjariasana (Cat Pose):
Description: Begin on all fours with wrists under shoulders and knees under hips. Inhale, arch your back (cow pose), lifting your head and tailbone. Exhale, round your back (cat pose), tucking your chin and tailbone.
These poses, when practiced daily, can significantly enhance flexibility and alleviate stiffness.
