In this age of stress, stress has become almost a constant in our lives. As a toxin, stress accumulates in our bodies, forming a huge invisible burden. We cannot predict when this accumulated stress will trigger a physical and emotional outburst.
We can adopt a more positive attitude—using effective methods to relieve stress and prevent its generation and accumulation.
Yoga can help relieve stress and promote physical and mental health, but its "extreme difficulty" can create pressure for many people. To relieve stress with yoga, you must first address the pressure of learning yoga.
Now let's learn yoga without stress with Na, and use the simple, easy-to-learn, and equally effective yoga method to prevent and relieve stress!
chair style
Pressure relief: It strengthens the function of the torso, including the abdomen, back, buttocks, ankles, thighs, calves, and spine; it also helps to stretch and flex the shoulders and chest, and enhances heart function and balance.
Key points: Stand with your feet together and palms flat on your sides. Exhale first, then inhale through your nose, simultaneously raising your arms from your fingertips to shoulder level, slightly bending your hips into a squat. Exhale through your mouth, feeling the power extending from your tailbone down your spine, as if sitting in a chair behind you, stopping as far as you can comfortably go. Make sure your knees don't extend beyond your toes. Inhale, pulling your shoulders back; exhale, slightly tucking your chin, opening your eyes wide and gazing straight ahead. Hold for 3-5 breaths.
Rabbit style
Stress-relieving effect: Stimulating the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head can treat constipation and headaches, and can also revitalize the scalp and promote healthy hair. It promotes the function of internal organs, softens the spine, vertebrae and neck, allows blood to flow back to the brain, and increases the oxygen supply to the brain.
Key points: Kneel, exhale, separate your knees to hip-width apart, and keep your back straight. Inhale through your nose, clench your fists, bend your elbows and tuck them under your armpits. Exhale through your mouth, and lean your body slightly forward, centering your weight on the top of your head, bringing your elbows close to your knees. Look straight ahead, place your palms on the ground, and place the top of your head on the ground between your palms. Raise your hips towards the floor, and pull your shoulders back to extend your body backward. Bring your knees together, move your hands behind your knees and clasp them together, holding for no more than 5 breaths. To return to the starting position, exhale to safely bring your body back to the starting position.
Warrior Style
Stress-relieving effects: Beautifies body lines, nourishes the spine, relieves shoulder stiffness and soreness, promotes metabolism and blood circulation, and protects female reproductive organs. Enhances the flexibility of the knee and ankle joints, and improves energy and spirit.
Key points: Stand with your feet twice shoulder-width apart, hands on your hips. Exhale, move your heels outward, keeping your feet in a straight line. Exhale to prepare for the movement. Inhale through your nose, bend your left knee, turning your left toes to the left. Keep your right leg in place, forming an L-shape with your feet. Extend your arms out to the sides, looking straight ahead, with your pelvis and hips facing forward. Continue bending your left leg, ensuring your knee doesn't extend past your toes. Turn your head to the left, starting with your chin, keeping your eyes looking straight ahead. Hold for 5 breaths.
Kneeling Glute and Back Exercise
Pressure relief effect: Stimulates the muscles of the buttocks and thighs, strengthens the flexibility of the ligaments on the inside of the knee, and allows the arms, wrists, shoulders, and back to participate in the exercise.
Key points: Position your body in a tabletop position, place your elbows on the ground, clench your fists to form a triangle, keep your knees together, exhale through your mouth, and lift your right leg in an L-shape, starting with your right toes. Inhale through your nose as you lower your leg. (Exhale as you lift, inhale as you lower, repeat 3 times) Do 4 repetitions on each leg, for a total of 5 sets.
