How to Do the Perfect Camel Pose (Ustrasana) - Complete Guide
Want to master Camel Pose — the powerful heart-opening backbend that builds strength and opens the entire front body? You're in the right place.
Perfect Camel Pose (Ustrasana) Technique
Camel Pose (Ustrasana) is a profound backbend that opens the heart, chest, and hip flexors while strengthening the back muscles. This pose requires courage and patience as it confronts our natural tendency to protect the heart. It's both energizing and emotionally releasing. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures safe progression, proper alignment, and gradual heart opening.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Kneeling Start:Kneel with shins parallel, hips over knees, hands on lower back
- Hip Engagement:Press hips forward, engage front body, lift chest and heart
- Gradual Backbend:Slowly lean back, keeping hips moving forward over knees
- Hand Placement:Reach one hand at a time to heels, or keep hands on lower back
- Open Integration:Breathe deeply, keep neck long, engage legs strongly
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Dropping hips back instead of pressing forward
- Crunching the lower back without chest opening
- Forcing the hands to heels prematurely
- Dropping the head back without neck support
- Not engaging the leg muscles
- Holding breath during the pose
