There are about 8.4 million yoga postures in total, and handstand is regarded as the “king of yoga postures”.
In addition to being extremely beneficial to both body and mind, as a highly difficult pose, it can also be regarded as a milestone for each practitioner to practice intensively on the yoga road.
Almost 90% of yoga practitioners regard handstand as their DreamPose! 01.
The three major impacts of sedentary life today are that people stand upright (standing or sitting) more than 2/3 of the time in a day, which is very harmful to their health.
It is particularly easy to cause the following problems: 1.
The blood circulation changes from horizontal to vertical, which causes insufficient blood supply to the brain and overload of the cardiovascular system.
2.
Under the influence of gravity, it causes prolapse of gastrointestinal, heart and other organs, and accumulates fat in abdomen and thigh.
3.
Under the action of gravity, the muscles in the neck, shoulder, back, waist and other parts bear more load, resulting in excessive tension and aggravation of muscle strain, cervical vertebra, lumbar spine, shoulder periarthritis and other diseases.
To solve these problems, medical treatment alone is not enough, but physical exercise is also needed, and the best exercise method is handstand.
Your feet are the foundation of standing, standing on the ground like the roots of a tree.
The other end of the trunk is the brain, which is “life”.
To grow up, one must first give up the protection of the earth and make oneself have a big inversion, which is literally a handstand on the head and feet.
02.
It is good to do handstand by mistake, but everyone’s body is different, the frequency of practice and awareness are different, so the length of practice has no direct relationship with the ability to do handstand.
Mastering the corresponding methods and knowing the right way to generate force can help us to do handstands easily.
The wrong way of exerting force not only affects the completion of the action, but also easily causes damage to the body.
For example, when standing on the elbow, many people make a mistake in the first step, which is also the most common mistake.
The shoulder falls forward and the arm does not exert force.
This will cause pressure on the neck, and it is also easy to cause the danger of turning back when lifting the leg.
