Yoga instructor answer: meniscus injury, can you continue to practice yoga?

Question ①: can you continue to practice yoga with meniscus injury? A: meniscus injury is the most common cause of knee pain.

Various ball games of boys, kneeling posture of girls, wearing high heels and some yoga exercises all have great damage to the meniscus.

If the situation is serious, please go to the hospital for examination and treatment! In the practice of yoga postures, as long as the knee movement is involved, we must pay attention to the same direction of the knee and toe, tighten the thigh muscles and lift the patella to protect the knee joint.

In addition, when the knee is used as a support on the ground, be sure not to press the weight of the body on the knee.

If you have severe knee pain in lotus, supine hero and other postures or any one of them, please stop practicing immediately.

Question ②: why can’t you do the downward dog pose well? A: the day when every asana is not done well, there is no best, only better, no worst, only worse.

In fact, there is no good or bad, just the current state.

Everyone thinks that the reasons why downward dog posture is not good are different, such as the back of the thigh is not open, the lower back is tense, the arm is weak, the back is weak, the shoulder is tense, and so on.

You just need to find your weakness and break it.

The basic positive position of downward dog pose is: the hands are slightly wider than the shoulder, the five fingers are opened and compacted, the forearms are rotated inward, the big arms are rotated outward, the back strength is towards the hips, the abdomen is retracted, the sitting bone is rotated upward, the thigh muscles are lifted up, the heels step on the ground, the toes are relaxed, the feet are the same width as the hip, and the distance between the hands and feet is the distance in the inclined plate.

Look at the navel.

The last thing to say is that in downward dog pose, you can start three contraction methods at the same time: the eyes look at the navel to start the throat contraction, the abdominal adductor sinks to the chest to start the abdominal contraction, and the perineum lifts the sciatic bone upward to start the perineum contraction.

Question ③: is the instability of balance posture related to knee pain? How to practice balance posture well? A: if your knee is painful, it will naturally affect the balance of your legs.

Don’t do it if your knee is still painful in the positive position.

If it is because of knee hyperextension, bend the knee slightly to see if there is any improvement.

Standing balance posture should be stable, which depends on the foundation, core, leg strength and concentration.

So make more efforts in these aspects.

Generally speaking, beginners are advised to bend their knees slightly, and standing balance will be easier.

To be more specific, the foundation of standing balance posture is the foot.

Press down the three points on the sole of the foot: heel, small toe ball and big toe ball (roughly understood as the left and right sides of the front sole).

Lifting the arch of the foot can stabilize the foundation and naturally activate the muscles of the lower leg and thigh.

Question ④: why do some people say that yoga can increase weight? A: people who are not fat have poor gastrointestinal absorption.

Some people are under intense work pressure for a long time, leading to mental gastrointestinal diseases.

Usually by practicing yoga posture, they can relieve pressure, strengthen gastrointestinal function, promote absorption, and naturally gain weight.

Question 5: where can I practice as a newcomer? Is it better to practice at home or in the guild hall? A: for guild practice, due to the money to buy cards and sufficient atmosphere, the persistence will be better, which has a good initial effect for some people with poor persistence.

The disadvantage is that time is tight, money is expensive and eager for quick success and instant benefit.

Practice by yourself at home, with strong randomness of time and great freedom, but it may be difficult to stick to it, and I will relax my requirements for each action.

Outdoor practice with everyone has good air and great freedom, but it may lack guidance, and there will be more preparation in all aspects, such as place, cushion, music, etc.
