Yoga four-pillar support looks like a simple and crisp posture: the body is straight, hands are on both sides of the ribs, and elbows are clamped inside.
Chaturanga, however, students who have done four-pillar support know that four-pillar support is not so simple.
When the students can’t do the four-pillar support, they will ask, where on earth should they work? Limb support is really not simple.
It is not a problem where you need to work, because you need to work almost everywhere.
The four pictures let you understand the four-column support picture 1: In fact, the four-column support looks like standing up, and then push the wall with both hands.
It is easy to do this standing, but it is difficult to do it lying down and overcome gravity.
Figure 2: From the side view: gravity will pull the shoulder down.
If you are not aware of it, the shoulder must be buckled inside.
So what we need to do is lift the shoulder up and turn the abdomen back in the middle of the body.
The easiest part to fall off is this part.
There is no other good way except the abdomen itself to retract and lift up.
While retracting the abdomen, turn the pelvis back to avoid waist collapse, and at the same time, the heel should be pushed back, Confronting with the force of the upper body falling forward, the body can be straight and the knee and the front of the thigh need to be lifted up Figure 3: from the top view: the inner side of the thigh knee should be lifted up, which is the same as the lower dog pose, and the same as the mountain pose Figure 4: This is the upward view to see the force direction of the palm: from the thumb to the direction of the little thumb, Fan out your fingers to help you turn your shoulders outward to support the four pillars.
It looks simple, but it is actually one of the most challenging poses in yoga.
If the beginner is not properly guided, it is easy to get shoulder injury.
Practice yoga, details are very important! Do you really understand four-pole support? ▼ Good class recently.
