How to do yoga? Common Yoga Poses

Yoga originated in India and is now developing rapidly in China. No matter which city, there are loyal yoga enthusiasts, including some grown men. I have to say that practicing yoga in your spare time is indeed good for your health. It can also make a woman's figure more perfect and improve her overall temperament. Below I will recommend several commonly used yoga poses.

1: Chair Pose

This pose works your leg muscles, especially in your buttocks and thighs. It is easy to sit on a chair, but it is a bit difficult for you to sit on an imaginary chair. Your thighs have to support your body, so the leg muscles are fully mobilized. At this time, the entire weight of the body falls on your legs, especially the muscles in the buttocks and thighs. Therefore, this pose not only strengthens your leg muscles but also strengthens the muscles in the entire leg area.

Movement – ​​Start by standing in Mountain Pose, then gently bend your knees and lower your hips as if you were sitting in an imaginary chair. Inhale and stretch your arms above your head. Keep your breathing smooth for a few seconds and relax.

2: Warrior 2

This pose mainly works on your legs, especially the inner thighs. Although the posture looks simple, it can exercise parts of the body that are easily neglected in our daily lives. The biggest advantage is that it allows both legs to perform different exercises at the same time. This pose is designed to target more muscle groups.

Movement - Open your legs wider than hip-width, with your left foot slightly inward and your right foot 90 degrees to the right. Place the right heel against the arch of the left foot; lower your hips, raise your arms to the sides in a straight line with your shoulders, look in the direction of your arms, maintain this position, breathe slowly, relax, and repeat the same action on the other side.

3: Dancer Pose

This pose has a beautiful posture and can stimulate and stretch the hip flexors, strengthening both the inner and outer thigh muscles. This movement requires standing on one leg to keep the body balanced, so all the muscles from the pelvis to the feet are nourished and stretched. The hips are opened, energy is released, blood circulation in the legs is enhanced, and more oxygen and nutrients are brought to the leg muscles.

Action: First stand in the mountain pose, lift your right foot and place it behind you, so that your right thigh is parallel to the ground, extend your right arm and grab your right ankle with your right hand, and stretch your left arm forward. Look in the direction of your extended left arm and hold this position for a few seconds. Relax and repeat on the other side.

4. Camel pose

This pose opens up the chest muscles and hip flexors very well, while also mobilizing all the muscles in the body, especially the thighs. This pose works on the front part of the body and thoroughly nourishes and stimulates the muscles on the front of the thigh.

Action - Start by holding the Thunder Sits, raise your hips, lift your body, make your hip muscles and calf muscles vertical; expand your chest and lean back, stretch your arms to touch your heels, tilt your head back as far as possible and look back, maintain this position and take a deep breath, then relax.

5. Seated Angle Pose

This posture can play a very good role in the front of our thighs. In addition to stretching the thigh muscles well, it can also exercise the inner thighs that we often neglect, and enhance thigh strength and flexibility.

Action - Start in the cane pose, open your thighs as wide as possible, and place your palms between your legs. If you feel you have enough flexibility, try bending your body so that your forehead touches the ground. If you are not very flexible, bend your elbows to keep your head, lower your head, take a few deep breaths, and then slowly close your legs.
