Yoga during pregnancy should maintain stable breathing

Yoga is a practice that originated in ancient India. In ancient times, yogis awakened by practicing asanas, breathing and more subtle meditation training, and finally reached the state of unity between meal and self!

For modern urbanites, cramming education during childhood and adolescence suppresses our inner spirituality, transforming the energy that should have been used to prepare for the path to love and freedom into negative pressure, resulting in many illnesses. On the other hand, yoga emphasizes the integration of body and mind, and its theory holds that every inner mental state is manifested through the external body. In turn, by improving body posture, it can also play a role in regulating psychology.

The preparation may seem simple, but it is very important. It can help you flex important joints and muscles and prevent unnecessary sprains and strains.

Exercise flexibly in neck and arms

Benefits:

Beautify the lines of the neck, arms, and shoulders to remove stress and relax nerves.

Practice:

Simply sit around, focus your consciousness on your breathing, straighten your spine, and relax your shoulders. Gently place your hands on your thighs, align your thumb with your index finger, and relax the other three fingers naturally. Lower your chin slightly, exhale, inhale, lift your right arm, and look in the direction of your fingers. Exhale, put your right hand on your left shoulder, and at the same time, turn your head gently to the right. Inhale, exhale, place your arms back on your right leg, and look at the ground in the direction of your fingers. Inhale, restore your head, and take a break. Repeat on the opposite side.

Tips:

1. If the hip joint is not flexible enough, it may be difficult to sit cross-legged. You can put a folded blanket under your hips, or sit on a chair to practice.

2. If your head and arms feel tired, reduce the time you take to breathe. (Editor in charge: Teng Yun)
