   When practicing yoga, many people may encounter a situation that they always like to unconsciously shrug their shoulders

.

Over time, the position of the trapezius muscle on the shoulder is not only painful, but also strong! Sometimes, we will unconsciously shrug our shoulders

.

We have tried very hard to control, but we always want to shrug our shoulders, or control for a while and start to shrug again

.

Why? Reason 1: Yoga with poor breathing_ In) when practicing yoga, experienced teachers know that it is very easy for Jiaren who does not breathe well to shrug her shoulders during yoga

.

In fact, she shrugs not only during yoga, but also when inhaling in daily life

.

Reason 2: the superior trapezius muscle is independently innervated by the accessory nerve

.

The superior trapezius muscle and the muscle groups around our eyeballs are muscles independently innervated by the accessory nerve

.

The brain directly commands

.

Compared with other muscles, the start will be faster, resulting in shrugging

.

In addition, the accessory nerve is very sensitive and is prone to tension due to the influence of emotions such as pressure, anxiety and irritability

.

Therefore, some people shrug as long as they are very nervous

.

Reason 3: the lower trapezius muscle is weak, which leads to the compensation of the upper trapezius muscle

.

When practicing yoga, Jia people who know something about anatomy know that the functions of the upper and lower trapezius muscles in the human body will be different

.

The upper trapezius muscle has the function of lifting the scapula, while the lower trapezius muscle has the function of pressing the scapula down

.

Therefore, the current trapezius muscle is weak and has no power to resist the power of the upper trapezius muscle to lift the shoulder blades, so the shoulders are naturally easy to rise

.

Therefore, if you always like to shrug when practicing yoga, you first need to check your breathing problems

.

Second, you should learn to relax and regulate your emotions

.

Don’t be too nervous

.
