What’s the difference between “lifting pubis” and “rolling tailbone” in yoga?

When practicing yoga, we often hear teacher Jiaren say: lifting pubis, rolling tailbone So, some people, especially beginners, ask: what do these two passwords mean? How can some teachers say it’s right and some teachers say it’s wrong? Are they both the same? What’s the difference between them? First of all, yoga, we need to know a point of view, that is, there is no right or wrong action itself, there is no wrong action, only the person who uses the wrong action

.

Therefore, there is no right or wrong in rolling the tailbone and lifting the pubis

.

Secondly, curling the coccyx and lifting the pubis are seemingly similar, but they are actually completely different

.

They have the following differences: 1

.

The position of the brain’s conscious nerve’s attention and control is not the same, the power point is not the same

.

Practicing yoga, we all know that different parts of the body are concerned by the consciousness, the practice effect will be different, lifting the pubis, the public’s consciousness will be more concentrated in the pubis On the other hand, the force will be more concentrated on the pubis, while the consciousness will be more concentrated on the pubis and the force will be more concentrated on the coccyx

.

Difference 2: the site of activation and the effect are different

.

Because the upper part of pubis is more connected with the abdominal core muscle group (transverse abdominal muscle, internal and external oblique abdominal muscle, rectus abdominis), lifting pubis will contract more to activate the abdominal muscle group

.

This is one of the reasons why in yoga practice, especially in the core practice, many teachers often use the password of “lifting the pubis”

.

Because the adult’s caudal sacral bone is fused together, most of them are connected with the lumbar back muscle group, and the lower caudal bone is connected with the pelvic floor muscle group, which is relatively small

.

Therefore, when the coccyx is rolled forward, it will stretch the lower back muscles more, activate and contract the pelvic floor muscles, and the feeling of the abdomen will be weaker

.

Yoga, action is not worth money, details are the most important

.

“Lifting the pubis” and “rolling the tailbone” are two seemingly identical movements, but the results of practice are completely different

.

Therefore, this is one of the reasons why it is not recommended to practice yoga according to the rules, because even if the movements look the same, the different points of exertion and the different points of attention, the results of practice will be different
