Raising of the tourniquet while standing – Madhyana Nauli – Lesson 8

The next step in mastering Nauli is the raising of the rectus abdominis muscles – the so-called tourniquet – from a standing position.

Almost everyone can perform this technique. That is, for its development, additional preparation of muscles or ligaments is not needed. The main thing here is to learn how to control your muscles, or, to put it another way, you need to learn how to create the right signal from the brain to the muscles!

And the only way to do this is to go through constant trying, just like we learned to walk as children. At the beginning, we didn’t succeed and we fell, but soon the necessary coordination is quickly fixed in the brain and we no longer understand how it is not to be able to walk.

To achieve the best results when performing a raising of the tourniquet in a standing position, it is important to focus on proper breathing technique and not strain extra muscles. To prepare the body for the exercise, you can make several turns of the torso and tilts in different directions. By gradually increasing the holding time of Madhyana Nauli, one can improve coordination of movements and strengthen the abdominal muscles, as well as achieve better digestion of food and improve the general condition of the body.

Contraindications: lack of stool for more than 2 days, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, intrauterine device in the first 3 months after installation, diastasis more than 2 centimeters with a sluggish and overstretched white line of the abdomen and hernias, acute infectious diseases of the abdominal cavity and small pelvis, exacerbation of chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (gastritis, peptic ulcer), thromboembolism (thrombosis), children are not recommended to perform abdominal manipulations until puberty is completed.

Do all exercises in your comfort zone. If you have acute pain, then there is no need to do this
