As the name suggests, the corpse spreading style is to lie down like a corpse.
“The goal of this pose is to simulate a corpse.
Once life is gone, the body remains stationary and there is no more movement.
You learn how to relax by holding still for a period of time in full consciousness and stopping the brain from thinking.”.
This description of the corpse posture is the original words of the light of yoga.
To sum up: the body posture is to relax like a corpse.
Part I: the benefits of asana.
Eliminate physical and mental fatigue; Relax and calm the sympathetic nervous system; It is helpful to treat hypertension and relieve migraine and stress headache; Reduce various symptoms caused by respiratory diseases and make breathing easier; Speed up the process of post illness rehabilitation; It helps to enter dreamless sleep that restores energy, especially for those with sleep problems____ Iyengar yoga Part II: practice method 1.

11.
Cover your eyes, cheeks, neck, back waist, knees, anywhere you like.
8 ~ 11 is to quit the corpse propping pose.
Part III: the feeling of doing the corpse propping pose myself.
I’d like to talk about my own feeling of doing the corpse style.
It’s just a personal feeling for reference.
I have talked with others about the feeling of sticking out the corpse.
It seems that everyone is different.
1.
Lie down and relax, stop all body movements, especially the relaxation of facial expressions.
The most important thing is my own feeling.
As long as the facial expressions are relaxed, my heart and brain will relax.
I can feel the changes in the brain and heart.
2.
Breathe first and feel the most active part of the body.
At the beginning, the key parts of the day can feel the feeling of soreness, numbness and swelling of the muscles.
Occasionally, the muscles will beat uncontrollably.
I will take my breath to these parts, comfort these parts in my heart, communicate with them and let them relax.
The length of this step depends on the physical condition of the day until the body is completely relaxed, and then enter the next step.
3.
Breathe naturally after feeling completely relaxed.
Guide the body with consciousness and feel that the body seems to have lost the support of bones, sink and penetrate downward towards the cushion; Sometimes I feel my body spread out around like a liquid until I can’t feel the existence of the body or the existence of the cushion.
Personally, I especially like this process and feeling, and there will be a trace of happiness and fun in my consciousness.
4.
Keep the body unconscious.
In most cases, the mind is conscious.
Occasionally fall asleep, but the time is very short.
You will suddenly wake up in two or three minutes.
(what was my consciousness doing when I was conscious? Now I’m writing this article.
I try to recall my conscious appearance when I did the jerk pose, but I still can’t recall it.
The memory of this brain seems to be blank) Part IV: share the situations that beginners may encounter when doing the jerk pose through examples.
1.
Most beginners can keep their bodies still when doing the jerk pose, It will be difficult for the mind to remain still and to bring consciousness back to the body.
If it is guided by an experienced teacher, the situation will be much better.
2.
Some people will fall asleep.
In the corpse class, beginners often snore.
3.
There are also some beginners, especially those who are relatively weak and rarely exercise, who will feel all kinds of discomfort during the final corpse removal.
I’ve seen tears, nausea, nausea, dizziness and I can’t breathe.
But after a few classes, these symptoms will disappear.
4.
An impressive member is a full-time housewife whose child is only about 10 months old.
Her husband is a construction worker working abroad.
She lives with her child and her mother.
She has the most serious symptoms I have ever seen.
The first time she did the body straightening pose, she couldn’t lie down at all.
As soon as she lay down, she would vomit badly.
She felt that she couldn’t breathe through.
It was like suffocation.
I asked her to sit in the corner, hold a pillow, lean on the wall, close her eyes and relax.
In this way, she kept crying and yawning.
After understanding, it is found that the student is not only weak in physique, but also depressed in life mood.
There is no way to vent his emotions.
He can’t resolve them by himself.
He is blocked in his heart and can’t get rid of his emotions.
He usually looks very gentle and polite.
There is nothing special.
He will chat with me warmly when he sees me.
I remember very clearly that I can lie down after five classes, just put a small towel on the back of my head.
I can’t remember when the small towel didn’t need to be padded..
