Yoga: Fashion fitness for white-collar workers

Due to long-term work at the desk, the white-collar workers 'backs are bent unknowingly, and they gradually become more and more tired to maintain a straight posture. The thoracic spine is often affected first, followed by the lumbar spine. Some people are also accustomed to writing and playing computers with their bodies halfway to their sides, and only leaning the left or right side of their hips to support their bodies, which makes it easier for the spine to bend left and right like a snake.

"Office gymnastics" of twisting, reaching out, and kicking is no substitute for yoga

Yoga is a good choice to correct the physical damage caused by years of improper posture. The movements of yoga are slow and stretch, and each movement is stopped at your personal limit. It can loosen the joints between the bones, allowing blood to flow more smoothly to the intervertebral discs, preventing their rigidity and adhesion.

This special effect of yoga cannot be replaced by ordinary body movements, waist twisting, reaching out, and kicking. The latter is mostly of the nature of "gymnastics", which is intense and rapid, accelerating the metabolism of muscle tissue.

Practice yoga in a work environment for 10 minutes each time in the morning and in the afternoon. Practice each movement once or twice, and keep your posture still for two or three deep breaths.

Slow and extreme stillness, deep breathing, and concentrated meditation. This is yoga

Because of the emphasis on the unity of spirit and flesh, yoga requires more understanding and patience.

Yoga is different from gymnastics, of course, there are some special practice essentials, especially breathing.

First, you need to take a deep breath. Inhale as you stretch and exhale as you retract. When you inhale, your abdomen bulges and your navel protrudes. When you exhale, your abdomen contracts inward, as if your abdominal muscles are merging with your lumbar spine.

At the same time, yoga postures need to be combined with "meditation", and thoughts need to be concentrated on one point. For example, when lifting the waist, focus on the waist; when reaching out, focus on the shoulders. In short, wherever you feel sour, you can concentrate it, so that oxygen-rich blood can be fully delivered to the parts of the body that it needs.

Overload workload, demanding superiors, indifferent colleagues, hopeless promotions, heavy pressure like a mountain...

The best way to reduce work stress is to relax. Everyone knows the benefits of relaxation, and white-collar workers also have their own methods, such as walking, chatting, and even eating snacks. For those who lack creativity or have run out of skills in this area, try yoga and relaxation.

Yoga relaxation advocates meditation, and its core is to keep what you think away from specific life content. Why is this required? Because everything that happens in daily life has become an element of thinking and is deeply imprinted in the mind. If stress is heavy, every element of thought is associated with stress, trouble, or pain.

So when we close our eyes, we think about it all, not much happiness, a lot pain, but more worry and anxiety-work that has not been completed, goals that have not been achieved, regrets that it should not be like this, and even more so., etc. Such a heart cannot rest, how can we talk about relaxing?

Meditation is different. It can quickly restore fatigue and overcome depression. After forming a habit, it can also eliminate insomnia if you practice in bed while sleeping.

Yoga is quietly popular among white-collar workers. In addition to its fitness significance, it is probably also because it has the magic power to relieve stress.

Let's meditate together.

Sit comfortably in the chair, with your lumbar spine straightened forward, shoulders lowered, and your back straight. Don't lean on the back of the chair, retract your chin slightly inward, and close your glasses.

Paint the beautiful scenes you love in your imagination, such as misty and misty lakes and mountains, boundless fields covered with red clouds, spring with blooming mountains and flowers... If you can't form a moving scene in your mind for the time being, the following paragraph can be used as a reference and imagine it to your heart's content:

The water town under the moonlight is soft and warm... The ancient town, the arch bridge, and the bluestone street surface are a bit cold... The noise of the day goes with the waves, and the silence of the night is a bit deep... The river bends, the reflection of a bright moon, and occasionally A fallen leaf, a ripple, and the moon's shadow is colorful...(Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
