Stretching yoga makes you slimmer!

Stretching yoga is also a common yoga exercise method. Regular exercise like this can not only help you lose weight and shape your body, but also improve your body balance. In particular, it can train your body's flexibility and stretch your ligaments. There are many training methods, such as triangle pose, cow pose, bridge pose, etc., which are all common stretching yoga exercise methods.

1. Triangle pose

1. Prepare in Mountain Pose.

2. Spread your feet about twice shoulder width apart, place the yoga brick on the outside of the ankle of your front foot (left foot), turn your left foot outward 90 degrees, turn your right foot inward about 30 degrees, and raise your hands horizontally at the same height as your shoulders.

3. When you inhale, feel your spine extending toward the top of your head. When you exhale, stretch your upper body to the left. Your left hand can be placed on the ground or on your left calf. If you find it difficult, you can place your hand on a yoga brick and put your right hand on your waist. Feel the left pelvis pushing inward, and your hips pushing to the right. Finally, stretch your right hand upward, keeping your hand in line with your shoulder, and if possible, turn your gaze to your right fingertips. Switch sides after finishing the exercise.

2. Cow Face Pose

1. Your feet can be in a kneeling position or a cross-legged sitting position.

2. Bend your right arm and place it behind your head. Hold your right elbow with your left hand and stretch your right arm to the right, downward, and downward right.

3. Finally, try to move your right hand from the top to the back, and then hold your left hand with your right hand from the bottom to the top.

4. Some people are born with inconsistent flexibility in their left and right hands, and it is often more difficult to perform movements on one side. At this time, you can use a stretch band instead of your hands, so that your hands can be easily clasped behind your back to complete the Cow Face Pose. Practice after finishing.

3. Bridge

1. Lie on your back on the yoga mat, bend your knees, bring your heels as close to your buttocks as possible, and place your hands at your sides to get ready. Lightly touch the ground with the back of your head to maintain the normal curve of the cervical spine. Remember not to let the cervical spine become straight.

[Note]: Try to see if you can pass your fingers under your neck. If there is "absolutely" no space, remember to lift your chin slightly.

2. Contract your abdomen, squeeze your buttocks, and use your thighs to slowly lift your buttocks and back off the ground. Open your thoracic spine and move your chest toward your face instead of moving your chin to find your chest, as this will make your cervical spine stiff. If you are not sure whether the force in your thighs will be dispersed as you lift your hips, you can place a yoga block between your thighs to assist.

4. Baby Pose - Assisted Pose

1. Kneel in a diamond position with your buttocks sitting on your heels. If you feel uncomfortable, you can put a small towel under your buttocks.

2. Prepare a yoga pillow or several blankets folded into long strips (of appropriate size) and place them in front. Lie your upper body on the yoga pillow and place your hands casually at your sides. You can hold this position for a while longer, as it helps to relieve stress and fatigue. You can do this exercise at the end as a long rest after practicing all the movements for the day.
