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

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

today, Xiaomi said five of the most common Yoga honeys to gays.

1.

Misunderstanding 1: the hips should be fully placed, the heels should step on the ground, the thighs are rotated outward, and the pelvis will not be fully placed.

If you force yourself to straighten your pelvis, the inside of your feet is easy to collapse and your knees are easy to twist and hurt.

Solution: keep the back legs rotated outward and the pelvis rotated back slightly.

Start the hip muscles on the other side of the back leg, so that the thighs and calves are in the right position without twisting the knees.

Sit down to the ground.

Press the outside of the rear foot and lift the arch of the foot.

2.

Misunderstanding 2: whether the back foot can buckle 45 ° or not is related to the flexibility of calf muscles.

If the calf muscles are flexible enough, they can buckle up to 45 ° or even more (parallel to the front foot), and the heel can step on the ground.

Solution: if the calf muscles are too tight, you can increase the angle.

At this time, the thighs need to rotate more outward to protect the knees, which means that the hips are more incorrect.

If the rear feet need to be opened more than 70 °, it’s better to lift the heels.

3.

Misunderstanding 3: the back heel must step on the ground.

If the calf muscles are too tight and in order to protect the knees, the thighs rotate more outward, you can lift the heel and straighten the hips.

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

4.

Misunderstanding 4: it’s good to align the rear heel with the front heel, but many students find it difficult to balance and stabilize after alignment.

Solution: first make the transverse distance of the two feet the same width as the hip, and then be a soldier.

After that, the hips and lower legs are opened, and then slowly reduce the transverse distance.

5.

Misunderstanding 5: the front knee must be bent by 90 °, which is very standard, but if the calf muscles are too tight, it is difficult to bend by 90 °.

In addition, if the hip flexor is too tight and the knee is bent too much, it will squeeze the lower back.

Solution: reduce the vertical distance between your feet.

When you get closer, the hip flexor will relax and the tailbone will stretch easily.

Calf muscle stretch is not so strong.

Alternatively, keep the distance between your feet unchanged, move your upper body slightly forward, align your spine with your pelvis, reduce the pressure on your lower back, and better extend your spine.

Warrior pose is actually a complex pose and a good opportunity to find body awareness.

Try the above methods to find your own warrior…
