When doing this pose, you might be relaxing your glutes, allowing your lower back to take the entire backbend.

People with tight muscles may find it challenging to arch their backs in a full range of motion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, this exercise requires strength in your back and coordination. Many of us aren\u2019t accustomed to doing backbends.

It can even cause the fear of falling, which may lead to hesitation in doing the pose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why the chair-based version is best for beginners.

It also engages your arms and shoulders when reaching for the heels. Doing the pose properly will enhance your flexibility and posture.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_should_you_hold_a_camel_pose\"><\/span><strong>How long should you hold a camel pose?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The timeframe will differ, depending on your fitness level. Beginners may hold the pose for 15 to 20 seconds, while intermediate and advanced practitioners can hold it for longer (30-60 seconds). If you can\u2019t do 15 seconds, hold it for as long as you can. Don\u2019t force yourself to stay in the position longer than you\u2019re capable of doing. Also remember that it will really help to breathe properly throughout this pose. If you\u2019re able to control your breathing, you\u2019ll likely be able to relax further into the stretch.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul><li><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_camel_pose_reduce_belly_fat\"><\/span><strong>Does camel pose reduce belly fat?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The camel pose doesn\u2019t directly reduce <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/chair-yoga-to-lose-belly-fat\/\">belly fat<\/a>. However, it can strengthen your back and core, stretch your abdomen, and improve posture, which may help with digestion and help you burn calories. Belly fat reduction comes from a prolonged calorie deficit.
