Yoga life style yoga · travel · LOHAS · physical and mental healing focus on “arm straightening is very important, it’s easy to say, but it’s difficult to do.” I don’t know if the students who just started yoga have such experience: when they raise their hands over their heads, they feel that their arms are straightened, but the old teacher still says “straighten their arms more”
.
When they look up, they really don’t straighten their arms
.
Sometimes even left and right imbalance, the right hand than the left hand bend or vice versa
.
Why is it so hard to straighten your arms? When the arm is raised over the top of the head and the big arm rotates upward, it needs the flexibility of the shoulder joint
.
If the shoulder joint is stiff, it is difficult to lift up
.
Even if the shoulder is flexible, but the lack of stability, lack of arm strength, it is difficult to straighten the arm
.
How to practice when the arm is not straight? Start from two aspects: flexible shoulder, exercise arm strength, stretch shoulder, open shoulder back: facing the wall, knee apart, instep close to the ground, hands on the wall, push the wall, arms straight, chest down for 1 minute, knee landing, hip alignment, elbows on the edge of the chair, hands holding bricks, chest down for 1 minute, start arm strength: squat against the wall, Hold the brick with both hands, keep the back and brick close to the wall for 1 minute, so the practice of grasping the brick and stretching the arm can be practiced in many postures, such as magic chair, warrior type, locust type, etc., which can exercise the strength of the arm and back, and find the stability of the shoulder and back
.
When the shoulder and back are flexible and stable, many shoulder and neck problems will disappear
.
At the same time, many yoga inverted poses become simple
