5 styles of yoga allow office OL to relax and move

OL people who sit in front of the computer for a long time do not have much exercise time, and most of them sit incorrectly, which puts greater pressure on the muscles of various parts of the body and easily causes muscle strain. Therefore, Xiaobian introduced you to local relaxing yoga movements, and you can also easily do office yoga from your seat.

1. Expand chest

Chest expansion exercise is one of the best ways for us to exercise, because we spend a lot of time working or studying with our backs hunched back. This style teaches you how to expand your chest with an elastic band, which you can find in sports stores or shops.

Practice:

1. You can stand or sit, grab the sides of the rope with both hands and raise your head.

2. Slowly move the rope back and lower its height to reach the extended chest. Hold this position for 10-30 seconds.

If your shoulders feel uncomfortable, don't do this.

2. shrug

Since you have to type all day, your shoulders and neck need to be tightened and straightened to withstand the pressure from typing. So shrugging is a good way to relax your shoulders and promote blood circulation in your upper body.

1. You can stand or sit with your hands hanging down naturally.

2. Raise your shoulders towards your ears, squeeze up as much as possible, hold this position for 1-2 seconds, and then put it down.

Repeat this action 8-10 times.

3. Back extension

The upper part of your back may also be tense and easily damaged by working at your desk for long periods of time, especially if you often use your shoulder to hold the phone or use your mouse frequently. Then the straight back pose may help you loosen your quilt.

Practice:

1. You can sit or stand, stretch out your hands straight, and cross your arms together. At this time, the palms of your hands are separated by a large distance.

2. Next, put your palms together. When you relax your head, your body rotates together with your abdomen and back.

3. Don't let go easily when rotating. At this time, you can imagine that you are rotating around a ball.

Keep the turning time within 10-30 seconds. If you feel uncomfortable twisting your arms together, you can just interlock your fingers.

4. Spine Torsion

Sitting for a long time will also affect your lower body, which will cause tightness and pain. This pose can relieve the tightness of the lower body.

Practice:

1. Sit in a chair, put your feet flat on the ground, and gently twist your body to the right with your abdomen. You can use your hands to help increase the twist.

2. When twisting, you must make sure you feel comfortable, straighten your back, and sit firmly on the chair with your hips.

Hold the position for 1-30 seconds, then change directions and repeat the same action.

5. Torch extension

Even if you pay close attention to your sitting posture, you will still find yourself a little hunched down. This makes your back sore. This pose helps you straighten and relax the muscles in your arms, back and sides.

1. You can stand or sit with your fingers crossed. Then stretch as high as you can, and lift it as high as you can, and take a deep breath.

2. Next, exhale and slowly open your hands to return to the original position.

Repeat this action 8-10 times. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
