Ustrasana - Asana Kitchen with David Garrigues

Ustrasana, Camel posture is a beneficial introductory back bend that is done from a kneeling position. The crux of the posture is to ground the shins downward as you lift up the chest into a great dome shape that resembles a camel’s hump. The lower body and arms form the foundation, and one common mistake is to thrust the hips too far forward in relationship to the foundation. And thus one of main keys to success in this posture is to stabilize the thighs against the forward thrust of the hips and find the position by accurately centering your spine directly over your shins.
