Practicing yoga, we will find that there are many movements involving the spine! Take the most common action: back flexion (including sitting and standing flexion).
Many Jia people believe that when practicing forward flexion, they must keep the spine straight.
If they see someone arch their back, it must be wrong! Before answering this question, first understand the anatomical structure of the spine.
From top to bottom, the spine is: cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, sacral and coccyx, with the movement angle of each joint attached: according to the physiological structure of the spine, the spine can not only flex and extend upward, but also bend and twist laterally, while the cervical spine is lordosis, thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis! Therefore, whether the spine should be kept straight or not varies from person to person.
For example, for some people whose thoracic spine curvature becomes straight (military posture back), we suggest to practice more arch back and flexible overall spine movements to keep the thoracic spine slightly bent! Another example: if the pelvis tilts back, the lumbar curvature will also change.
At this time, we should first adjust the neutral position of the pelvis and restore the lumbar curvature.
But in fact, in most yoga exercises, in order to avoid excessive pressure on the lumbar spine, the spine state is recommended to be extended and elongated to avoid excessive arching, which is right.
But this does not mean that all exercises, as long as the arch back, must be wrong! To practice yoga, we must vary from person to person and from body structure to body structure.
The flexion of the spine is also a practice method of flexible spine.
In the process of practice, we must be flexible and make changes according to our own physical conditions- recommend – Yoga station breathing meditation reading life yoga long press the QR code to pay attention to me..
