Interesting yoga joke

In the posture classification of fitness yoga, balance refers to the movement that requires some limbs to support the body and maintain balance. When maintaining a balanced posture, the body is required to be balanced and stretched, and the limbs outside the prescribed posture are not allowed to translate, roll, gyrate, compensate or shake.

Balanced poses can exercise the sense of balance and coordination, enhance attention and concentration, and help us find inner peace and stability. And I practice a more balanced pose. I have a little selfishness, that is, to prevent accidental falls, or to prevent accidental falls when I am old.

Some time ago, I saw a little video of ancient costume, the content was like this: a queen was playing by the lake, and the person who had been trying to harm her finally seized the opportunity and wanted to push her into the water. The queen has only one leg to support her body. Her arm hangs forward and the other leg stretches backward, much like a yoga warrior. With a good sense of balance and stability, she controlled her body and did not fall into the lake.

I still remember the rainy and snowy weather last year, when it was freezing, and most people who had to go out chose to walk. When I was walking, I accidentally lost control and slipped. My first reaction at that time was to involuntarily tighten my core and lift my leg muscles to avoid falling in the snow and ice. I smiled at that time, and I was proud, so I lost my sense of balance.

Although the two situations I listed seem like a joke, a good sense of balance and stability is really beneficial to us. Today, I share several yoga poses that enhance the sense of balance and stability. Let's try your sense of balance.

1, skyscraper

Exercise:

● Mountain stance, feet apart, pelvis width.

Inhale, point your toes to the ground, raise your heels, and at the same time, raise your hands over your head through your body, with your fingers crossed and your palms up.

Exhale, shoulder abduction and sinking, gaze at a fixed point in front, and stay for 5-8 breaths.

Inhale and extend your spine and arms upward again.

Exhale, heel fall back to the mat, hands untie, fall back to the side, and return to the mountain posture.

Note: ankle injury, heel can not leave the ground. When the heel is off the ground, don't turn the ankle inside out, and keep the ankle in the middle position. In the maintenance of skyscrapers, tighten the abdominal core and lift it, tighten the calf muscles and lift it, sink your shoulders to find the direction of your hips, relax the position of trapezius muscles, let the coccyx land vertically, and keep your hips upright and stable.

2. Tree style

● Mountaineering posture

● Move the center of gravity to the left leg and step on the ground with the left foot.

Bend your right knee, and with the help of your right hand, put the sole of your foot on the inner side of your left thigh, so that your right knee will abduct and sink, and the sole of your foot will be opposite to the inner side of your thigh.

Inhale, put your hands together on your chest and look at a fixed point in front. When you find stability, raise your hands above your head and put your arms on your ears, and stay for 5-8 breaths.

Exhale, put your arms back on your chest, untie your right leg and shake to relax.

● practice of changing sides

Precautions: When maintaining the tree body, the sole of the foot should be kept facing the inner thigh to prevent the foot from slipping down, the abdominal core should be tightened and lifted, the legs should be lifted and knees should be extended to sink, the supporting legs should be stable and powerful, and the shoulders should sink towards the hips.

3. Bird of Paradise

● Mountain stance, with feet spread to both sides about two and a half shoulders wide.

● The toe of the right foot is extended 90, and the left foot is buckled about 15-30.

Inhale, raise your arms horizontally and look at the fingertips of your right hand.

● Exhale, bend the right knee, the thigh is 90 degrees, and the thigh is parallel to the ground. The right arm extends from the inside of the right leg, and the back of the left hand surrounds the back waist and crosses the right hand.

● Inhale and lift on the chest.

● Exhale. Step forward with your left foot and your right foot, shift the center of gravity to your left foot, step on the ground with your left foot, and see a fixed point in front. Pull your right leg up with both hands to keep it stable.

Inhale, slowly straighten your right leg outward and stay for 5-8 breaths.

When exhaling, the right foot first falls back to the ground, unbuttons both arms and restores the mountain posture.

Note: Birds of Paradise need a higher sense of balance, leg and arm strength. If the thigh can't be extended outward, bend the knee to keep it. The sense of balance and stability can not be enhanced in a day or two, and practitioners need to strengthen their practice every day. Yoga Sutra says: After long-term uninterrupted practice, this kind of practice will be firm. I hope you can keep practicing and reach the state you want.
