Wake yourself up: Office Yoga
10 minutes of yoga practice between work or study can give us sufficient rest physically and mentally, thereby maintaining strong energy and good self-confidence. The following is my training experience, and I summarize several exercises I practice and communicate with you. Welcome to learn from each other. Preface: The air in the office is turbid, so it is best to go outdoors when practicing, or the stairs near the window of the office building. If you really don't have this condition, you can also choose your favorite practice from the following exercises. As long as you practice it, it will work!
When practicing, pay attention to breathing yoga as much as possible. When doing the exercises on the corresponding parts, imagine that the corresponding parts are fully relaxed, that your blood is fully nourishing your body, and that your whole body is very comfortable.
Exercise 1: First skill
Method: Close your eyes.
1) Wash your face with dry hands and rub your face and ears, neck, and neck to make these areas hot. Imagine my mother's hands touching our hands before, and the skin on my head was very relaxed.
2) Comb your hair with your hands from front to back, and follow your fingers with your mind. Do it 15-30 times in total until the scalp becomes a little hot.
Efficacy:
After a long period of intense work, my mind is very tired. Combing your hair with both hands can speed up blood circulation to your head, allowing your brain to fully feed and maintain strong energy.
Practice 2: Eye Practice
Method:
1) Close your eyes.
2) Try to point your eyes to the right for 3 seconds; then clockwise, try to point your eyes down for 3 seconds;
3) By the same token, try your best to hold to the left for 3 seconds, try your best to hold up for 3 seconds.
4) Try to right and complete a counterclockwise cycle. Do it 3 times in total.
5) Do it clockwise 3 times.
6) Close your eyes and gently massage your eyes with your fingers.
Efficacy:
Activating your eyes can effectively eliminate eye tension and accelerate eye metabolism.
Exercise 3: Neck Exercise
Method:
1) Relax your shoulders naturally
2) Turn your head as far as possible to the right, and then turn it as far as possible to the left. Do it 3 times in total.
3) Tilt your head back as much as you can, and then tilt back as much as you can. Do it 3 times in total.
4) Clockwise, slowly, and make as large a circular movement as possible. Do it 3 times in total.
5) In the same way, do counterclockwise movement 3 times.
Efficacy:
The neck tilts forward for a long time during work, making the neck tense. This exercise can massage and relax the neck nerves and muscles very well.
Exercise 4: Shoulder Rotation Skill
Skill:
1) Stand naturally with your hands on your shoulders
2) Start taking a deep breath, turn your hands clockwise, and try to make larger circular movements. When your hands are parallel to your shoulders, try to move backwards and breathe deeply as hard as you can in your abdomen and chest.
3) Turn your hands up and continue to breathe until your hands are up as far as they can.
4) Slowly relax your hands downward and breathe out slowly. This completes a clockwise cycle, 5 times in total.
5) In the same way, rotate counterclockwise for a total of 5 times.
Efficacy:
Relax the muscles of your chest, shoulders and back, and combine it with deep breathing to relieve tension and make your heart feel like a flat lake in autumn.
Exercise 5: Spine Twist Skill
Skill:
1) Stand naturally with your feet, one shoulder apart
2) Place your left hand on your right shoulder and the back of your right hand close to your back waist. Take a deep breath.
3) Exhale slowly, twist your neck, spine, and legs clockwise, and hold for 5 seconds when you reach the limit.
4) Inhale slowly and relax naturally.
5) Twist counterclockwise, the same method as step 3)
6) Do 3-5 rounds.
Efficacy:
This posture has quite good effects on the neck, spine, legs and internal organs, especially the spinal nerves and the entire nervous system. The 32 pairs of nerves branching from the spine are squeezed by the spinal muscles to excite them to relax the whole body.
Exercise 6: Spinal Extension
Skill:
1) Stand naturally, feet one shoulder width apart
2) Bend forward with your hands as close to the ground as possible. Hold for 10-30 seconds.
3) Return to standing position
4) Do it 1-3 times in total.
Efficacy:
The main purpose of this practice is to fully inject blood into the brain and eyes and slow down the heartbeat. Another important role is to relax your emotions and enhance your self-confidence. If you are emotionally unstable, you can increase the number of exercises appropriately.
Note:
Don't keep it for too long at a time, but do what you can according to your physical condition.
Exercise 7: Standing Camel Skill
Skill:
1) Stand naturally with your feet a shoulder distance away
2) Exhale
3) Slowly bend the neck and spine backward, and control the bending with both hands on the hips and thighs.
4) Bend as slowly as possible and pay attention to balance
5) Hold for 5-20 seconds
6) Restore natural standing
7) Do it 1-3 times in total
Efficacy:
When working, we all bend forward and the spine is quite tense. This position is the best way to relax the spine. It can also correct the habit of developing hunchbacks without realizing it. Let us stand upright and be human beings!
Note:
When practicing this skill for the first time, you must slow down and maintain balance when bending backwards. It is best not to practice this skill on a hard floor. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
