What are the effects of yoga poses

There are many yoga poses, and everyone will choose the pose that suits them, because the areas they need to exercise are different. Generally speaking, standing pose series, sitting pose series, forward bend pose series, back bend pose series, inverted pose series, and supine pose series are all common pose series, and the exercise effects are also different. For example, the sitting pose series can make people quiet and calm. Everyone can choose the pose series that suits them.

The standing pose series stretches the leg muscles and joints, stretches the leg arteries, enhances blood supply to the lower limbs, removes blood clots in the calf muscles, and increases the flexibility and strength of the spine. Through the rotation and bending of the spine, the muscles around the spine and the joints between the vertebrae remain flexible; standing poses can also adjust the cardiovascular system. The muscles on the outer wall of the heart are fully stretched, increasing the supply of fresh blood to the heart.

This series of seated poses strengthens the muscles in the hips, knees, ankles, and femoral groove area. Seated poses can also help remove tension and stiffness from the diaphragm and throat, making breathing smoother and easier. They stabilize the spine, calm the brain, and stretch the heart muscles. Increased blood supply throughout the body

The forward-bending series of poses squeezes and massages the abdominal organs, which has a unique effect on the nervous system: as these organs relax, blood flow to the brain is adjusted, and the blood supply from the heart to the entire body becomes smoother; heart rate and blood pressure are lowered; the adrenal glands are soothed and function more efficiently. Forward bends also stretch the muscles on both sides of the spine as well as the vertebral joints and ligaments. Forward bends are particularly helpful for calming the mind.

The twisting series teaches us the importance of spinal and inner body health. During the twist, the pelvic and abdominal organs are squeezed and fresh blood flows into them. These poses improve the elasticity of the diaphragm and relieve misalignments in the spine, hip joints, and groin area. The spine becomes more flexible, which improves blood supply to the spinal nerves and enhances the body's energy level.

When doing yoga, you must not excessively pursue some difficult poses that are not suitable for you, because some difficult poses require good flexibility. Some people have never practiced before, especially beginners, whose body flexibility is not enough. If you force yourself to practice some difficult movements at this time, you may suffer from muscle strain.
