Question: How can beginners in yoga increase body flexibility?

I just started practicing yoga for a long time, and my body feels very stiff. Is there any way to increase my body's flexibility in the short term?

Answer:

If you are a beginner in yoga, it is normal for your body to be stiff, so you don't have to worry. The advantage of yoga is that you don't have to practice standard movements to have effects. As long as you practice it to the limit of your body, it will start to work.

If you want to enhance your body's flexibility, you can start from the following aspects:

1. It's best to take time out to practice yoga every day, even if it's only for 5 minutes. Five minutes of yoga a day is better than just doing 35 minutes of yoga once a week.

2. Pay attention to keeping your body warm, especially in winter.

3. Practice more standing postures. You can only practice standing postures at the beginning. As your body's flexibility and flexibility increase, gradually reduce standing postures and add some prone and supine postures. However, it is still recommended to practice standing at least once a week. Stereotype. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
