Yoga: The secret weapon of beauty

A body as soft as a girl and a beautiful and slender waist are every woman's dreams. In fact, you don't have to go to the gym to jump around and quietly cultivate your soul. Traditional and ancient and mysterious yoga can give you unexpected gains.

Yoga is not really complicated. General physical exercise often focuses on the external beauty, but rarely takes into account the internal things. Yoga is different. While sculpting your external image, it also gives you a kind of inner strength. After a period of exercise from the inside out and from the outside in, you will be surprised to find that your mentality has changed. You will no longer torture yourself to lose a few kilograms of weight. You will be beautiful because of happiness and happy because of beauty.

Classic 6 styles of yoga

Here are the six classic yoga movements. Practicing them on the floor at home can help you eliminate stress, maintain a calm heart, make you more flexible and have a better balance, and are also the secret weapon to keep slim.

1. Tree posture: Keep your feet together, starting in the mountain posture, with your toes fully open and extend; use your front thigh muscles to drive the muscles near the knee joint. Straighten your spine and straighten your chest and shoulders. Put your hands together in a prayer posture, with your thumbs close to your chest and your elbows bent close to your body. Now lift your left foot and place it tightly on the inside of your right leg. Use your hand to help maintain balance when necessary. Keep your right leg upright. Hold on for 5 breaths. If your flexibility and flexibility are poor, place your left foot on your calf or foot joint.

You seem to be like a tree, rooted on the earth, breathing deeply.

2. Crescent: Starting from the tree position, take a big step back with your left foot, lift your heel, and straighten your legs. Bend your right knee in a straight line forward and backward. Raise your arms up and put your hands together. Press down on your shoulders and back. Maintain 5 breaths.

If you don't think yoga is a real exercise, try this move! Your thighs will tell you how it feels.

3. Samurai II: Starting from the crescent shape, place your left foot flat, turn your toes 30 degrees, keep your legs straight, and turn your hips 90 degrees. Keep your right heel in line with your left instep, keep your knees at 90 degrees, relax your hips, body and shoulders, center, extend your arms flat, shoulder height, and palms down. Stretch out your fingertips as hard as if touching a wall. Focus your eyes on the middle finger of your right hand. Hold for 5 breaths.

The name says it all. You are a very powerful warrior.

4. T Shape: Starting from the Samurai II posture, place your hands on your hips, tilt your upper body straight forward, lift your left foot, find balance, then your upper body fully forward, lift your left leg until your body is parallel to your left leg. Extend your left leg fully, from your hip to your toes. Keep your hips straight and face towards the floor. Stretch your arms straight on the sides of your body, with your palms facing inward. Hold for 5 breaths. If the move is too difficult for you, you can rest your legs on a chair at the beginning.

This is a very challenging change, and you will gradually realize that you can do everything you can now.

5. Half moon: Start with the T-shape. Touch the floor with the fingertips of your right hand. If you can't touch the floor, you can pad something such as books. Transfer weight to your right hand and right leg. Leave your left foot off the floor, rotate your left shoulder, keeping your hips and left leg parallel to the ground. To better maintain balance, look up. Hold for 5 breaths. At the end, turn your torso and hips forward to restore the mountain posture.

Half the moon will teach you to calm down. Starting to do it now can consolidate other actions.

6. Triangle: Starting from the mountain posture, step back with your right foot twice; turn to the right foot and the outside of your leg at 90 degrees, and your left foot forward. Turn your hips forward with your legs as the center. The right heel is in line with the back of the left foot. Arms raised and palms down. If you cannot straighten your legs, bend your knees 90 degrees and lengthen your torso and arms. Breathe in. Place the other hand on the shin, knuckle or floor. Keep your left arm and right arm in a straight line. Look up. Maintain 5 breaths. Return to your original position and start again on the other side.

This action makes you feel like you are lengthening, growing taller, and fully stretching your body. (Internship Editor: Shi Yixiong)
