Yoga with a ball against urinary incontinence 02 -
this is the ball
|
|
|
Position on the back (supine): The lumbar zone is
generally activated by placing the pelvis without
a lordosis
|
Position on the back (supine):
The inner leg areas are also activated (adductors)
by placing the pelvis without a lordosis
|
|
|
Exercise 1: Put the ball between
your knees and move it forward and backward
|
Now the ball is placed between the bent knees 01
|
Now the ball is placed between
the bent knees 02 - the ball is set now
|
|
|
Now the ball is held between the bent knees and
the arms are stretched flat and open half-way on
the floor
|
|
|
Slowly the ball is lowered in
the direction of the floor, without the feet
touching the ground, so WITHOUT putting the feet
down, the abdominal muscles are activated - with
INHALATION
|
Slowly the ball is moved in the direction of the
chest and head, so the pelvic floor is activated -
with EXHALATION
|
This exercise goes back and
forth slowly and stimulates more and more the
entire lumbar area. The lumbar spine should be
kept on the ground and there should not be made
a hollow back (1'32 ''). So, one can feel all
the vertebrae on the ground (1'36 ''). And
always good inalation [extention] when the ball
is moving away, and exhalation [contraction]
when the ball moves toward the chest (1'38 '').
The exercise does not have to be extremely
athletic with the feet extremely close to the
floor or knees extremely close to the chest, but
the pelvic area should stabilize (1'46 '').
And always INHALATION when the feet are moving
to the floor and EXHALATION when the knees are
moving toward the chest (1'54 '').

|
|
Exercise 2: Stretch your legs
upwards and squeeze the ball each time during
exhalation
Now comes a "candle" with ball:
|
The ball is between the bent knees and now also
the feet are bent
|
The legs are stretched out
upwards to activate the back of the legs,
including the back of the knees, and with every
EXHALATION the ball is squeezed. With every
INHALATION the legs are relaxing.

every EXHALATION the ball is squeezed. With
every INHALATION the legs are relaxing.
Always breathe well, and you should have the
idea of stretching your heels to the ceiling
(2'21 ''). Now the muscles and tendons of the
back sides of the legs and the areas of the knee
pits are activated (2'27 ''). During exhaling
the legs are squeezed together and the ball will
be squeezed [for a maximum stimulation of the
pelvic floor] (2'30 ''). During inhaling, the
legs are relaxed, upper body is filled and the
shoulders are relaxed towards the floor (2'38
''). When exhaling, the ball is squeezed [and
the pelvic floor trained] (2'42 '').
[The idea is that the inhaled air is reaching
the heels. During exhaling the air is "pulled
off" and the legs "pull together" and therefore
are squeezing the ball together].
When the lumbar vertebrae press a little bit,
one can bend the legs slightly for a moment, but
then stretch the legs again (3'40 ''):

Relax the
neck and breathe gently (3'50 ''). When
inhaling, one should have the idea that the
air flows to the heels (3'52 ''). When
exhaling the neck and the shoulder area should
always remain relaxed, they should not feel
connected to the activities in the abdominal
area and leg area (4'5 '').
Always during EXHALATION squeeze the ball -
and everything super slowly, as if nothing
would happen (4'19 '').
At the end, the legs are "brought down" and
the first relaxation exercise is prepared:
|
The legs are brought down slowly
|
The legs are folded and hugged
|
The legs are folded, hugged and a "package" is
made
|
|
|
Exercise 3. Relaxed rolling on the
back with legs fold together
|
Like a package there is rolling on the back 01 to
the left
|
Like a package there is rolling
on the back 02 to the right
|
With this comes a relaxation like a ship on the
water (4'30 '').
|
Like a package there is rolling
on the back 03 to the left
|
Like a package there is rolling
on the back 04 to the right
|
|
|
Then comes the preparation for
the second relaxation exercise:
Then the ball is taken out, the feet put on the
ground in a big distance (4'38 '').
|
The ball is taken out
|
The legs are placed on the floor, far apart from
each other
|
The legs are placed on the
floor, far apart from each other and the
arms lie relaxed on the ground
|
|
|
Exercise 4.
Bent the far apart legs to loosen the
lumbar pelvic area
The legs are bent alternatingly in both
directions (4'43 ''), the legs are far
apart, to the edge of the doormat, when
possible (4'45 ''), and so you let the legs
fall alternately on both sides ( 4'48 '').
The shoulders should remain on the ground
and not be detached from the ground, because
so the whole spine, especially the lumbar
area and the buttocks and hips are loosened
(4'58 '').
|
Both legs are bent to the left side 01
|
Both legs are bent to the right
side 01
|
Both legs are bent to the left
side 02
|
Both legs
are bent to the right side 02
|
Both legs are bent to the left
side 03
|
|
|
Exercide 5. Getting up
|
Getting up 01: The legs are pulled together
|
Getting up 02: It is getting out, the body is
rolled back
|
Getting up 03: Roll forward
Final position cross-legged
If this
exercise is done on a daily basis then the
physical condition will improve a lot, you
will soon feel the difference (5'20 '').
