Yoga “warrior I” must bend knees 90 ° ? No……

In fact, there are many misunderstandings about yoga warrior type I

.

today, I would like to tell you five of the most common ones

.

1

.

Misunderstanding 1: the hip should be placed properly, the heel should step on the ground, the thigh is external rotation, and the pelvis will not be placed completely

.

If you force yourself to straighten your pelvis, the inside of your feet will collapse and your knees will twist

.

Solution: keep your back legs out and your pelvis back a little

.

Activate the gluteal muscles on the side of the hind leg so that the thighs and legs are in the right position without twisting the knees

.

Sit down and look for the ground

.

Press the outside of the back foot to the ground and lift the arch of the foot

.

Misunderstanding 2: 45 in the back foot ° Can foot buckle inside 45 ° It’s related to the flexibility of the calf muscles

.

If the calf muscles are flexible enough, they can reach 45 °, It’s even more buttoned up (parallel to the front foot) and the heel can step on the floor

.

Solution: if the calf muscles are too tight, you can make the angle a little larger

.

At this time, the thigh needs to rotate more to protect the knee, which means that the hip is more incorrect

.

If the back foot needs to be opened more than 70 degrees °, It’s better to lift your heels

.

.

Misunderstanding 3: the heel must be stepped on the ground

.

If the calf muscles are too tight, and in order to protect the knee and thigh, the heel can be lifted up and the hip can be straightened out

.

Solution: a small triangular foam brick can be placed in the heel and foot arch to help stabilize the roots

.

.

Misunderstanding 4: it’s good to align the back heel and the front heel, but it’s difficult for many students to balance and stabilize after alignment

.

Solution: first, the horizontal distance of the two feet is the same width as the hip, and then do the same

.

After the hip, leg open, and then slowly reduce the horizontal distance

.

Misunderstanding 5: the front knee must be bent 90 ° Bend 90 ° It’s standard, but if the calf muscles are too tight, it’s hard to bend 90 degrees ° Yes

.

In addition, if the hip flexors are too tight, bending the knee too much will squeeze the lower back

.

Solution: reduce the longitudinal distance between your feet

.

After a little closer, the hip flexor will be more relaxed, and the tailbone is easy to extend

.

The calf muscles don’t stretch that much

.

Or, keep your feet at the same distance, move your upper body forward slightly, align your spine with your pelvis, reduce pressure on your lower back, and better extend your spine

.

It’s actually a complex pose and a good opportunity to find physical awareness

.

Try the above methods to find your own warrior
