How do white-collar workers practice yoga in the office
White-collar workers often have physical problems because of their busy work, fast pace of life and irregular diet, so practicing yoga has become a fashionable fitness exercise. How do white-collar workers practice yoga easily in the office? Meditation is the foundation of yoga introduction, and many yoga poses are evolved from sitting posture. Standard sitting posture can not only make practitioners enter the yoga state faster, but also help to maintain the stability of the body, relieve muscle tension and enhance the flexibility of the body. Benefits of office yoga

1. First of all, yoga pays attention to breathing regulation. It teaches you how to control your breathing and practice intercostal muscles. The survey shows that it will take about two weeks for your vital capacity to improve significantly. Flexibility and flexibility are also common problems of office workers, especially shoulders and ankles.

2. The tension in these parts is the main cause of back, knee and joint pain. Yoga promotes blood circulation in these parts and takes away the necessary nutrients, thus significantly improving flexibility and relieving the pain caused by osteoarthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome.

In addition, office yoga can also improve the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system in the human body is larger than blood vessels, but because it has no heart supply like blood, their circulation can only rely on muscles and gravity. Therefore, constantly changing your body posture is a very effective method. Healthy lymph can also prevent and treat heart disease.

Scheme: Double angle type.

Methods: Feet are shoulder width apart, toes are forward, and upper body is slowly pressed forward. Slowly keep parallel to the ground while straightening your arms and clasping your fingers. Try to keep your body and legs at the first right angle and your arms and body at the second right angle. Breathe naturally, hold for 5 seconds, inhale and restore your body to stand up straight.

5. Tight hips

Solution: Half squat at the table.

Methods: Leave the chair that you have been relying on for a long time, stand behind the chair, with your legs 30 cm apart, and stretch your arms forward and naturally put them on the chair.

This trick focuses on the deep hatred of OL's "solid footwork", which changes the hip line wonderfully and strengthens the leg strength.
