The front splits might seem out of reach, a pose just for dancers or gymnasts. However, practising the splits is one of the most effective ways to release chronic tightness and pain deep in the hips and lower back.

At CloudC Yoga, our core philosophy is that practice is not about forcing your body into a perfect pose but a process of self-discovery. As mentioned in the video, we are here to "slowly discover your own front splits through regular practice."

The King Pigeon Pose, or the Royal Pigeon Pose (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana), is an energizing pose that stretches the shoulders and vertebral column deeply. It also helps regulate the hormonal secretions, particularly those from the thyroid.

Back pain is closely linked to lifestyle choices and emotional well-being. Yoga and meditation can help relieve discomfort and release mental stress.

Some gentle yoga stretches can be helpful for beginners. Here to highlight the FOUR of them,

1. Cat Cow Pose (Sanskrit: Viralasana)

2. Thread The Needles (Sanskrit: Supta Kapotasanaa)

3. Supine Spinal Twist (Sanskrit: Supta Matsyendrasana)

4. Knees to Chest Stretch (Sanskrit: Apanasana)

If you practice yoga long enough to comfortably perform Headstand (Sirsasana) and Front Splits (Hanumasana), explore more creative space with this transition. While Headstand is more dominant in strengthening, Front Splits focus more on lengthening. Combining these two yoga asanas offers an excellent opportunity to experience the balance of energy in yoga—the Yin and Yang, the Sun (Ha) and Moon (Tha).

As Ayurveda says, "How you start your day is how you are going to feel for the rest of the day." Even if you are not a fanatic of Ayurveda or Yoga, this statement is hard to disagree with. Starting the day with a yoga routine infuses us with the fountain of energy to lift the day and prepare us with the firm mindset to deal with whatever is going to happen on the way. With thousands of hours of teaching yoga under my belt, the best advice I have ever given to my students and clients is that you will never regret building a habit of starting your day with morning yoga. It is truly a Game Changer.
