People always have the question that yoga has been practiced for a long time, but they don’t know what effect the corresponding posture has? Also, people often ask yoga people to make up that some part of the body is uncomfortable.

What posture should they practice? I hope that after introducing the corresponding effects of yoga postures today, everyone can find a posture suitable for their body! 01 | Standing pose yoga standing pose makes people energetic.

They awaken the body and mind by eliminating tension and various kinds of pain.

Yoga standing posture can promote digestion, relieve constipation and regulate kidney.

It can also improve circulation and respiration.

The standing posture teaches us the principle of correct movement.

They develop the correct way to sit, stand and walk, which is the basis of posture and daily life.

02 | Sitting posture yoga sitting posture is often used in meditation, including simple sitting, lotus sitting (half, full), Vajra sitting, lightning sitting, perfect sitting, etc.

These postures make people feel peaceful and peaceful inside.

They will promote deep breathing.

No matter how the legs are placed, when sitting, keep the spine straight under the natural curvature, so that the spine extends upward, and the internal organs of the abdomen are not squeezed.

At the same time, the body and spirit should also maintain a certain awareness, so as not to fall into a lethargic state.

Sitting with legs bent makes the hip joint, knee joint and ankle joint more soft and flexible, which helps prevent and treat rheumatism.

The cross-legged sitting posture can improve the flexibility of the hips and lower back, and strengthen the back muscles.

03 | Forward flexion refers to the posture in which the spine bends forward and leans towards the leg.

This kind of posture can prevent and treat ischemic and hypoxic headache, reduce pressure, improve complexion, stretch and strengthen back muscle groups, promote back blood circulation, and enhance the flexibility and flexibility of the spine; The forward bending posture gently compresses and massages the abdominal organs, thus promoting digestion and excretion, and stretching the muscles and ligaments at the back of the legs; Among them, sitting and bending forward can deliver fresh blood to the pelvis, strengthen the reproductive system, calm the mind and calm the nervous system.

Don’t overexert.

Be careful of waist injury or ligament injury at the back of thigh; People with abnormal blood pressure or anemia should especially slow down the pace.

04 | Backward tilt refers to the posture with the spine bent backward.

Backward leaning and forward bending should be done together, that is to say, after a backward leaning, one forward bending can be connected with the other, so that the spine can be extended, the intervertebral disc can be repositioned, and the spine can be fully rested.

This is very important.

Don’t force yourself to do it to avoid being hurt.

Backward posture requires not only flexibility and flexibility of the spine, but also strong and powerful spine.

Backward leaning can increase the blood supply in the spinal region, benefit the central nervous system, extend the abdominal region, recuperate the weaker abdominal organs, increase the flexibility of the shoulder joint, expand the chest cavity, and enhance the vital capacity to create conditions for deep breathing.

In general, some Ghanaians will exert excessive pressure on the thoracic spine when leaning back, which may cause the spine to reverse arch and compress the thoracic space, which is not beneficial to the body.

Therefore, when you lean back, you should pay more attention to the sense of extension and space of the spine, so as to achieve a moderate stop.

05 | Scoliosis is a posture in which the spine bends to the left and right.

Lateral curvature makes the spine more flexible and elastic, reduces the fat in the side waist, promotes the detoxification of axillary and costal lymph nodes, improves skin problems, and can also stretch to the parts where the left and right sides of the waist cannot normally move, affects the abdominal viscera, improves diabetes, and improves visceral function.

However, attention should be paid to the balance of time and symmetry of amplitude between the left and right sides of the side-bending posture to avoid man-made C-bending of the spine.

At the same time, pay attention not to bend the hips and press the waist, as well as excessively straighten the chest, and maintain the neutral position of the spine.

Do not overstretch to prevent strain.

06.

Torsion refers to the posture in which the spine rotates horizontally to the left and right.

When the body twists to the left and right, the lumbar spine, thoracic spine and cervical spine can be strongly twisted, which is particularly useful for the nervous system, has the role of soothing and calming the mood, gently massaging the viscera, and alleviating slight back pain.

It is worth noting that attention should also be paid to the lifting of the spine when doing the twisting action.

This is mainly because when the spine twists more than 16 degrees between planes, it will increase the risk of lumbar disc protrusion or prolapse.

If you want to avoid sports risks and practice safely, you must tighten the abdominal and back muscles to make the spine gently twist under the condition of lifting.

06 | Balance class refers to the posture that requires some limbs to support the body and maintain balance, which can exercise the sense of balance and coordination of the body, enhance the ability to concentrate, and help us find inner peace and stability.

It should be noted that in any balanced posture, the first thing to balance is the heart, the mind, and finally the body.

If you want to maintain your state in a balanced and coordinated posture, the biggest trick is to focus on the current posture and don’t be distracted.

07 | Inverted type Inverted type refers to the inverted body posture, including shoulder inverted, plough inverted, head inverted, etc.
