Many yoga sequences begin with standing posture, because standing posture is simpler than sitting posture.
Most people can’t sit straight on the mat, so it’s risky to practice other postures.
There is one asana that can test whether you are ready to enter the sitting sequence, that is walking stick.
Walking stick style is also called mountain sitting style.
The trunk should be like mountain style, and the legs should maintain mountain style legs.
This is that the trunk and legs are not in a straight line, which is 90 degrees here.
This pose is very deceptive.
It seems that it is not difficult at all, but novices can see it and practice it.
Not to mention novices, even if you have practiced yoga asana for months or even a year, it is not easy to sit straight in this asana.
Most people do the following walking stick style: you can take your seat according to the number.
If you can’t sit straight in the walking stick style, don’t enter the posture of sitting forward bending, semi lotus forward bending, heroic forward bending, sage mariqi, boat and so on.
It’s not suitable for you.
You’re not ready yet.
Why can’t you sit straight with your walking stick? There are two main reasons: 1.
The low back muscles have no strength, and the low back muscles have no strength, so they can’t straighten their spine.
In view of this situation, we can do more core strength training.
The more targeted exercise is locust style.
Locust pose itself is a good healing pose, which is particularly similar to our Chinese traditional practice of xiaofeiyan.
It can effectively strengthen the back muscles, strengthen the hip muscles, prevent low back pain and prevent lumbar disc herniation.
People with lumbar muscle strain can be cured directly by locust style.
2.
The muscles at the back of the thigh are too tight, and the arm can’t screw the thigh.
Many times, our back muscles can’t screw the thigh.
If the muscles at the back of the thigh are very tight, even if our low back muscles have strength, they can’t turn the tide.
Walking stick stretching is the back of the whole body and the establishment of basic strength.
When the back of our legs is tense, we will pull the sitting bone forward, resulting in arched back.
In view of this situation, we can bend our knees slightly and straighten slowly after a period of time.
However, you can also do some exercises on the back of your thighs, such as lying on your back and pulling your big toe.
If you can’t pull it, use an extension belt.
People with tight thighs must use stretch bands.
In the supine position, our back is supported, just as you can’t compensate much if you want to compensate, so it’s a friendly exercise for the waist and back.
In the process of walking stick practice, some people may have short hands, which doesn’t matter.
You just need to bring the walking stick in close to the mat or the ground, let the shoulders sink and the arms straighten as much as possible.
Don’t rush into sitting posture.
Mountain pose is the basis of left and right standing postures, and walking stick pose is the basis of all sitting postures.
As long as you master the walking stick posture, you will find that other sitting postures get twice the result with half the effort and are not easy to get hurt.
The first principle of yoga practice should be safe practice, which requires patience and awareness.
Never hurt yourself in pursuit of asanas.
