Yoga posture is one of hatha yoga postures and a common yoga posture. In this posture, the practitioner sits on the ground with his heel close to the perineum, grabs his feet and separates his thighs until his knees touch the ground. Many yoga practitioners always do this posture before meditation, because this posture can stretch and relax the muscles and tendons on the inner thigh, which makes this meditation sitting posture easier to do.
So what is the general use of baddha konasana?
1, eliminating sciatica;
2. Open the buttocks and groin;
3. Relieve dysmenorrhea;
4. Maintain the health of reproductive organs.
However, what if your knees are too high to touch the ground? Today, I will teach you a yoga brick and wall-assisted exercise, which can open your hips well.
Step 1: baddha konasana, sit on the blanket with hips facing each other, grab your ankles with both hands, sink your knees, stretch your back, and keep this posture 1 min.
Step 2: Place the outside of your right foot on the yoga brick, put your hands on both sides of your hips, keep your spine extended, keep your right knee down, keep exercising 1 min, and then change sides.
Step 3: Pad 2 yoga bricks, spread a blanket on the bricks to make your feet more comfortable, keep it for 1 min, and then change sides.
Step 4: On the basis of the previous pose, fold forward and down, keep 1 min, and change sides.
Step 5: On the basis of the previous pose, press the elbow of the right hand on the palm of the right hand, with the left hand backward, hold the inner side of the right thigh for 1 min, and then switch sides.
Step 6: press the elbow behind the sole of your foot, hold the right hand against the wall to help strengthen the twist, keep the action for 1 min, and then change sides.
When we can't finish a pose in depth, we might as well add assistive devices and try more different methods.
