6 styles of yoga make you energetic
Do we get up every morning when the sun rises, but our bodies can't get up? Is it because your body is up, but your mood can't? Getting up is the most difficult task in the morning. Let the morning yoga exercises designed by yoga experts help you! In addition to losing weight, these 6 simple yoga movements can also relax, concentrate, and inject new energy into your day.
Before starting, slowly practice breathing in and out for a minute or two. If you can't spare 20 minutes to complete this set of 6 moves, you can do 1, 3, and 5 first, and then practice 2, 4, and 6 the next day, and do it in rotation.
1. Spinal cord extension
Sit on the ground with your legs crossed, pressing your hip bones against the ground, stretching your spinal cord to the top of your head. (If you feel uncomfortable, sit on a pillow or blanket.) When doing this stretch, keep your hip bones on the ground. Place your left hand on your right knee, breathe in, and stretch your spine. Then exhale while twisting your waist and turning your body to the right. Take a quick breath and turn your body back to the front. (a) Change direction and repeat action.
Slide your right hand on the ground and extend your left arm above your head. Breathe in and reach your left finger to the ceiling. Then exhale while stretching your left hand to the right, stretching your left body. If you feel your left hip bone is off the ground, you don't have to extend your left arm too far. (b) Breathe once, changing directions and repeating the action.
2. Cat stretch
Stand on the ground with your hands, knees and feet to support your body. The wrist should be directly below the shoulders and the knees should be directly below the hips. Stretch the spine so that the tension continues to the top of the head, extend the head forward, and extend the spine and coccyx backward. Take a deep breath, then bend your back towards the ceiling, arch your body like an angry cat, with your chin retracted. The next time you inhale, arch your back, relax your lower abdomen and stretch it toward the ground, lift your hip bones and collarbone, head up, and stare at the ceiling. Repeat the action three times.
3. Puppy stretching
Return to the previous movement with the ground on all fours.
(a) Press your palms and fingers on the ground, bend your toes, and lift your hips and back. Keep your knees bent slightly, then swing your "tail"(spine and coccyx).
(b) Then put down your left foot and follow the ground, straightening your left leg. Breathe once, then bend your left leg again and straighten your right leg.
4. Horse stance
Return to the position on all fours, take a big step forward with your right foot, toes and fingers side by side, and your right knee directly above the toes. Then, slide your left leg back so that your knees rest on the ground. Keep your spine straight and your shoulder blades down. To strengthen stretching, press your hips forward and downward, and extend your collarbone upward. Breathe once and repeat the action once with another leg.
5. Step and stretch
Lift one leg and move forward, lift your hips towards the ceiling, and lean your hands back a little to keep the front leg as straight as possible. Next, press the heel of the rear foot back so that the toes can turn slightly to the side. Keep your legs straight as far as possible, continue to lift your hips toward the ceiling, and relax the upper leg bent towards the front. Breathe in, and then repeat the action once on one side of your body.
6. Triangle extension
Take a big step forward with your right foot, place your right hand on your right ankle or calf bone, and your left hand on your left rib. Open your body to the left, with your shoulders in line and your left shoulder above your right shoulder. Turn your left toes forward and your right toes point to the right. If you feel unbalanced, lift your left arm up to the ceiling so that your left arm is in line with your right arm. Keep your spine stretched and keep your eyes on your left arm. If your neck feels too tired, turn your eyes forward. Breathe; then repeat the action on one side of your body.
