Supine Dog

Benefits: Increases spinal flexibility, strengthens arms, stimulates kidneys and adrenal glands, and gives energy to the body.

Note: Keep your knees and hip muscles tight to protect your lower back. If you have lower back problems, you can keep your feet slightly apart.

How to: Lie on your stomach, face down, with your feet together. Place your hands on both sides of your chest, spread your fingers, keep your middle fingers parallel, support your toes with your heels perpendicular to the ground). Keep your buttocks and knees tight throughout the exercise. Inhale, lift your head, then straighten your arms and lift your upper body off the ground. Using only your hands and toes, lower your hips and bend your body slightly backward. Be careful not to pull your shoulders down below your earlobes.

Change your posture

From Supine Dog to Prone Dog

How to do it: Inhale into Supine Dog. Exhale, push your body back with your hands, lift your hips, and slowly move into Face-Up Dog. Inhale, lower your hips, and return to the supine dog pose. Keep changing from one pose to another. Breathe evenly and rhythmically, control your breathing, and move slowly. This pose is also called the "liver and spleen exercise pose." Because these two internal organs get exercise from practice, it is very beneficial to health.

Relative posture: Rest and relax in Child's Pose.

Seated waist twist

Benefits: Increase spinal flexibility and slim waist.

How to do it: Sit on the floor or mat with your legs straight in front of you, bend your left leg, and bring your left heel close to your perineum. Then bend your right leg and place your right foot on your left thigh. If you're not comfortable doing this, you can also place your right foot on the ground in front of your left foot.

Place your right hand on the floor at the base of your spine and your left hand on your right knee. If your right foot is on your left thigh, try putting your right hand behind your back to see if you can grab the big toe of your right foot.

Inhale and lift your sternum. Exhale, pull your right knee close to your body with your left hand, and twist your body to the right. If you can catch your right foot, you can use it to pull your body, move your right shoulder backward, move your left shoulder forward as much as possible, and look toward your right shoulder.

Close your eyes, hold the posture, take 8 breaths, release your hands, slowly turn your body forward, relax your legs and shake. Repeat on the other side, this time bending your right leg and twisting your body to the left.

When female friends exercise after childbirth, it is best to maintain moderation. Because the body is relatively weak at this time, if they exercise excessively for a long time, it is likely to consume a lot of energy, causing women to experience various discomforts. It is also best to replenish some water before doing yoga, which can help the body's metabolism faster.
