Yoga teacher said “open chest”, 90% of people may have done wrong!

Add a circle of friends with teachers on wechat to watch teachers ~ teachers often say “open the chest” in yoga classes, but 90% of Jia people may have done wrong.

The right way to open the chest is, you know? First of all, the yoga teacher should be clear about where the chest is.

People who may have practiced yoga for a long time may not really know the specific location of the chest.

Secondly, how to open the chest? The word “open” is too abstract.

Some people don’t know how to implement it, so they have to “open” it in their own way.

Either push the chest forward, or make the ribs protrude, or step on the waist and raise the hips, or push the pelvis forward Opening the chest is not only the opening of the front side of the body, but the expansion of the longitudinal and transverse area of the whole chest, including the front side, rear side, left side, right side and the whole three-dimensional space up and down.

The goal of opening the chest is to achieve the opening, expansion and extension of the whole three-dimensional space.

The physical manifestation of opening the chest incorrectly: the chest is pushed forward and upward, and the abdomen is elongated; Rib protrusion and valgus; Shortening of lumbar space and lumbar compression; The pelvis leans forward or moves forward; The shoulder blades move too close to the midline of the body and fall down; Closed posterior ribs, restricted breathing, physical tension, etc.

These wrong physical performances only move the position of the chest, and do not expand the space of the chest.

Methods and steps for correctly opening the chest: 1.

Whether standing or sitting, or raising and bending your arms, when opening the chest, your body should first maintain a neutral position.

2.

Inhale, expand the chest up and down, left and right, front and back at the same time, spread the shoulder peak backward, widen the clavicle to both sides, lift the armpit, push the upper end of the shoulder blade forward, the lower end backward, and then broaden to both sides.

Push the front wall of the thoracic vertebra backward.

Pay attention not to tighten the stomach or over tighten the ribs.

3.

If you find that the pelvis rotates backward and the thigh moves forward in the process of doing, you need to guide the practice of pushing the thigh backward.

The body is stiff and the chest cannot be opened.

Not only can the backward bending posture be done, but the practice of other postures is also very difficult.
