Teacher Li Xiaozhong: If we haven’t experienced the real stretching feeling of the back in forward bending, then we can’t teach students.
If you insist on teaching, you can only go to the shelf and tell the lines in the book once and swallow them.
This is called teaching knowledge, which has no feeling of the professor.
Some people actively fold the pelvis to make a very flat front bend because of the excessive flexibility of the hip joint, so this is not a back stretch feeling, the back is not feeling, but the sore feeling of the thigh tendon being stretched, which is a mistake of practice, not a mistake of the front bend.
Yoga tells us that only stretching posture is comfortable, stable and tensive, but this is only “telling” that we must experience before we can recognize what is stretching feeling and what is inner stability.
We realize that what we feel in our hearts is more real than what our minds understand.
We must effectively connect our inner feelings with our minds, not deny their analytical and reasoning functions.
Remember, stretching and stretching are two different things.
Pulling is longitudinal, and stretching is also longitudinal.
The result of stretching is excessive pulling of tendons and ligaments.
If it does not act on muscles, it will cause injury.
The extension is different.
The extension is longitudinal, and the extension is horizontal.
The extension and extension are mutually constrained and balanced, and will not be injured.
What it brings is the plane space of muscles, just like ironing folded clothes with an iron.
So, what is the use of stretching for a specific sitting and standing double leg forward bending to strengthen the back stretch? First of all, the name of this pose tells us that the forward bend is more about stretching the back than the back of the thigh.
The first step is to use your arms to drive the chest to extend upward in the sitting posture.
Of course, the chest will extend upward with your abdomen.
Next, you need to use your arms to drive the chest forward and keep the abdomen not shortened.
This is the process of back extension.
Then you can use your hands to hold your feet or legs to stabilize the chest, and use your head to drive the chest forward to extend.
At the same time, lowering your head can also bring the natural strength of the abdomen backward, It is this force that widens the back, which is the process of stretching.
But after being skilled, stretching and stretching are almost at the same time.
The abdomen in forward bending is not the core of tightening, but the whole abdomen is backward.
This abdomen is triggered by the action of lowering the head.
Don’t distinguish between the rectus abdominis, the transverse abdominis and the lateral oblique abdominis.
It must be the whole abdomen.
If we have to distinguish which muscles of the abdomen are, our mind will participate in the exercise, and the mind will think and analyze the work, which will distract us, and immediately lose our inner feelings about the whole abdomen.
In a word, no matter how hard you try, as long as your back is stretched, the purpose is to turn to get the comfortable feeling of the back brought by the back stretch.
The inner feeling is greater than everything..
