Add the teacher’s wechat to watch the teacher’s circle of friends ~ “it’s better to enter the pose in the right way than adjust in the yoga pose.” the problem of raising your hands and shrugging your shoulders is very serious.
Many yoga poses have the action of raising your hands, such as the first action in the Sun Salutation, the phantom chair and the warrior.
Many students will lift their shoulders up and close to their ears, just like hanging their shoulders on their ears.
At this time, the muscles around the neck are very tense, and the breathing will not be smooth and relaxed.
Students who often practice like this will find that their necks are getting thicker and thicker and their shoulders are getting stronger and stronger.
Shrug at this time, “shoulder sinking” is not necessarily useful.
When the teacher sees you shrug, he will teach you to sink your shoulders.
But for a classmate who has lifted his shoulder, the big arm is rotated inward at this time, and the position of the big arm bone and shoulder blade is incorrect.
If you let your shoulder sink at this time, you will overexert the lower end of the trapezius muscle, and the joint will be damaged due to the misalignment of the shoulder brachium and scapula.
What should we do? The key is to pay attention to the process of lifting.
Instead of adjusting in asana, we should pay attention to the process of adjusting into asana.
In the process of lifting your hands, pay attention to the external rotation of your arms.
Now let’s try it in the mountain pose: before lifting your hands, turn your arms outward and let your elbows nest find the feeling of the walls on both sides.
Then, turn your small arms back and slowly lift your hands with the palm of your hand.
While lifting, pay attention to the external rotation of your arms.
When you lift up to a certain height, you will find that your arms begin to rotate inward.
At this time, you should stop, Instead of having to lift to the top of your head without shrugging, many postures are like this.
It’s not just the action of raising your hands.
You should pay attention to the process of entering the pose, keep aware, and don’t rush into the pose.
If the process is correct, the result will not go wrong.
