The body and mind of a person are directly related. Yoga postures can maintain the balance of various systems in the body, and have a good strengthening effect on the blood circulation system, respiratory system, digestive system, excretory system, reproductive system, endocrine system, and nervous system..
Practicing yoga postures can improve one’s mental state and promote physical health..
Yoga postures can generally be divided into sitting, standing, forward bending, backward leaning, lateral bending, twisting, balance, inverted, etc..
In yoga, sitting postures are commonly used for meditation, including simple sitting, lotus sitting (half, full), diamond sitting, lightning sitting, and supreme sitting. These postures can make people feel inner peace and promote deep breathing..
A sitting position with bent legs makes the hip, knee, and ankle joints softer and more flexible, which helps prevent and treat rheumatism; A sitting position with legs crossed can enhance the flexibility of the hips and lower back, and enhance back muscles..
No matter how the legs are placed, when sitting, it is important to maintain a natural curvature of the spine that is straight and extends upwards, without any compression on the abdominal organs. At the same time, the body and mind should also maintain a certain level of awareness..
At the same time, it is important to note that during the sitting process, do not apply pressure to the knee joint. Instead, focus on the external rotation of the hip joint to protect the knee..
Yoga standing postures can promote digestion, relieve constipation, regulate the kidneys, and improve circulation and breathing. Standing can make people energetic and awaken their body and mind by eliminating tension and various pains..
Practice standing postures to enhance strength and mobility in the back, hips, knees, neck, and shoulders..
Forward flexion refers to a posture where the spine bends forward and leans towards the legs. Common postures include standing forward flexion, sitting forward flexion (turtle time, single leg back extension, half lotus forward flexion, etc.)..
Forward bending postures can prevent and assist in the treatment of ischemic and hypoxic headaches, relieve pressure, improve complexion, while stretching and strengthening the back muscle group, promoting back blood circulation, and enhancing spinal flexibility and flexibility;.
The forward bending posture gently compresses and massages the abdominal organs, promoting digestion and excretion, while also stretching the muscles and ligaments behind the legs; Among them, sitting and bending forward can deliver fresh blood to the pelvis, strengthen the reproductive system, stabilize the mind, and calm the nervous system..
It should be noted that the forward bending posture folds from the hip, not from the waist; Beginners can slightly bend their knees, relax the lower back and leg muscles, and increase the range of motion of the hip joint. Do not exert excessive force during the posture process, be careful of pulling the ligaments in the back of the waist or thighs. Practitioners with abnormal blood pressure or anemia should slow down their pace..
Posterior curvature refers to a posture where the spine is bent backwards and should be combined with forward curvature to extend the spine, reduce intervertebral discs, and provide sufficient rest for the spine..
The supine posture not only requires the spine to be flexible and agile, but also requires the spine to be strong and powerful. Backward tilt can increase blood supply to the spinal area, benefit the central nervous system, and also stretch the abdominal area, regulate weaker abdominal organs, increase shoulder joint flexibility, expand the chest cavity, thereby enhancing lung capacity and creating conditions for deep breathing..
When doing a supine posture, pay attention to the stretching and spatial sensation of the spine, and do not press the chest too hard.
