The 8 styles of yoga will make you beautiful from your head to your feet
The foundation of yoga is based on ancient Indian philosophy. It mainly achieves complete control of mind and emotions by exercising the body and regulating breathing, thereby maintaining a body that is always healthy and perfect.
Position from knees to chest (stretch thighs and knees)
Face up and legs straight. Take five breaths. Inhale, straighten your arms and hug your calves to fully stretch your upper body. Take five breaths. Exhale and restore your legs.
Stretch your legs
Lie face up, legs straight. Wrap a long cloth around the sole of your left foot, lift your left leg upright and hold it for a while. Keep your legs straight and as close as possible to your front body. After 20 seconds, tilt your upper body forward, close to your legs, and slowly lie back. Change your right leg.
Kitten pose (stretch back)
Support your shoulders with your hands and crawl on the floor. Inhale, arch your back up and forward, while also moving your chest and head. Exhale and slowly retract your back and head, doing this like an angry cat. Repeat this 5 times.
Down puppy pose (stretch back of legs, side ribs)
Put your limbs on the ground. Exhale and straighten your legs until your knees want to bend, while straightening your arms and pressing on the ground with your hands. Keep it for a while. Inhale, straighten your legs and exercise your quadriceps for a minute.
Stand leaning forward (extending legs and back)
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and arms at your sides. Exhale, lean forward above hips, legs upright and let body relax. Hold for a minute.
Cobra (Stretch back, buttocks, intercostal muscles)
Lay face down and rest your palms on the ground. Exhale, press on the floor with your hands, lift your head, lift your chest, and keep your legs close to the ground. Stretch your arms (but not tight), lift them up, and hold for 30 seconds.
Butterfly pose (tighten coccyx, inner thigh)
Sit on the floor with your back straight, your soles of your feet touching, and your knees open out. With your heels facing each other, clamp your pelvis and squeeze your feet hard. Hold for 2 minutes. Exhale and slowly spread your feet apart.
Children's posture (stretching back)
Crispy on the ground, with the big toe touching the ground. Sit with your upper body on your heels, exhale, and crawl forward, landing on your forehead. Relax your arms and place them on the floor for two minutes. Breathe naturally.
Triangle posture
Spread your legs apart, leaving four feet apart, rotate your left foot 15 degrees, your right foot 90 degrees outward, and straighten your arms on both sides of your body. Exhale, bend your upper body to one side, place your right hand on your right leg as support, hold for 45 seconds, inhale, recover, and change to the other side. (Internship Editor: Tong Wenchong)
