Add a circle of friends around teachers on wechat to watch teachers ~ ① question: I can’t go up when I practice yoga handstand.
Which part of the teacher needs strength to keep handstand? A: some time ago, a classmate asked this question in class, mainly about where the head handstand is exerting force.
I explained it this way: where are you exerting force when you are standing? Do you think it’s very easy to stand up? You don’t have to think about where you are exerting force.
It’s already a natural thing.
So, the same is true of headstand.
When you finally stabilize, you will feel that you are exerting force everywhere, and at the same time, you are not exerting force anywhere.
Of course, the strength of the arms, abdomen, shoulders and back is still needed when we just practice headstand.
Just like when we first started walking as children, we still had to use our legs harder, but after mastering it, it became easier.
In fact, it is better to align all parts of the body than to exert force.
For example, if you are standing, your pelvis will be directly above your feet and your shoulders will be directly above your pelvis, so you don’t have to work hard.
The same is true for headstands.
What you have to do is keep your pelvis directly above your shoulders and your heels directly above your pelvis.
So we generally recommend that you practice half of the head handstand first, even if you bend your legs so that your pelvis is directly above your shoulder, and then straighten your legs so that your feet are directly above your pelvis.
Of course, when it comes to the force of the arm and head, we use more.
For beginners, we all say that the force of the hand and head is 73 points – seven points for the hand and three points for the head – mainly for fear of squeezing into the cervical spine.
However, at the same time, we should also know that there is a kind of headstand, which can only be done when the head is on the ground and the hands are off the ground.
That is when the body power is balanced to a certain extent.
There is also a handstand in which the elbows are on the ground and the head is raised, only with the strength of the hands.
② question: is Yoga easy for people with soft bodies to get hurt? A: I would like to talk a little more about softness here.
Many laymen think that practicing yoga is to be soft.
If they feel that they are hard, they will not practice yoga.
In fact, it is hard to practice.
If it is a “disease”, you will find that hard people are prone to cervical spondylosis, periarthritis of shoulder, low back pain, back pain and sciatica.
Aren’t they all diseases? Yoga masters say that practicing yoga is simply a blessing.
When hard people practice yoga, they feel stronger when stretching.
Your awareness of the body is more profound than that of soft people.
The process from hard to soft is the most precious.
Speaking of this, is it easy for soft people to get hurt when they practice yoga.
There is no absolute answer, but the most common problem for soft people to practice yoga is hyperextension, such as elbow hyperextension and knee hyperextension, which means that joints are easy to be injured.
If you don’t exercise regularly, the soft people have less muscle content, and the muscle doesn’t attach to the bone, the bones will be injured, and the joints will be injured.
Therefore, soft people should pay attention to the positive position when practicing yoga, correctly start the muscle strength, and do more strength exercises.
③ question: when doing the lying, twisting and relaxing posture, you can feel the pain somewhere in your right waist.
If you resist the pain and slowly twist and feel the bone ringing, you will feel very comfortable.
I want to ask this question.
I already feel pain.
Do I try not to do it or do more of it? A: this happens to many people, not only when they twist, but also when they open their hips.
First, they feel stuck, and then they feel comfortable when their bones ring.
This happens all the time.
There is no problem with this kind of pain.
It should be that the joint is stuck.
After this period of time, this situation will slowly disappear.
However, if there is any other pain, try to avoid it.
Question ④: what should I do if I can’t lift my legs in the boat pose? A: exercise the core with elbow support, inclined plate support, four column support, downward dog pose, etc.
When doing the boat pose, first do the variant, bend the knees, lift the soles of the feet off the ground, keep the legs vertical to the ground, and hold the knee fossa with both hands.
The ⑤ question: how do you feel the swelling pain of the tendons in the knee fossa when doing some asanas? A: that’s because the back of the thighs, calves and knees are tense.
Stretching the back of the legs can be improved.
There are also some asanas that require flexibility of the hip joint.
If the hip joint is tense, it will bring pressure to the knee.
Do not force the body into the asanas that are not ready.
