Five, limb support type
English name: also known as four-pillar support

Sanskrit name: Chaturanga Dandasana
In Sanskrit, "chaturanga is a limb, Chatur is a four, anga is a limb, and Danda refers to the support of the spine or body.
It strengthens the arms and legs, adjusts the abdomen, exercises the shoulders, and prepares for yoga arm support balance, handstand and backward bending. It can also shape people's character. For women, it may be much more difficult than men at first. Men's chest muscles are usually stronger than women's, and they can be done by their own muscle strength. The key to making this pose suitable for anyone is to learn the correct arrangement of bones. The correct route builds strength for those who struggle in this pose. Some people use brute force to adjust their posture, which will hurt their shoulders. Learn to set the body state accurately, and you will find that it is not just the strength of the upper body. To relax completely, you need to concentrate the strength of the abdomen, spine, legs and heels and integrate the strength into the whole body.
Six, flat support type
Flat plate support, also known as inclined plate, is one of the most commonly used conjoined poses in yoga. The tablet can quickly mobilize the muscles of the whole body, which is very helpful for strength building and core exercise.
All yoga poses need to be adjusted from the foundation. The so-called foundation is the point or surface in contact with the ground. In the flat style, hands and feet are our foundation. The stability of the hand foundation determines the pressure on the wrist and the strength of the upper limbs when practicing the flat hand position. For those who have just practiced the treadmill, if the wrist hurts, they should first adjust the foundation of their hands and practice the strength and flexibility of their wrists.
Nine basic points: thenar, thenar, index finger root, little finger root, and five fingers. 9 points for one hand and 0/8 points for two hands/kloc. As long as these 18 acupoints are compacted at the same time, the wrist pressure will be reduced and the arm will be strong.
The foundation at both ends has been adjusted, and then the core area needs to be adjusted. It seems that flat type needs to activate abdominal muscles. In fact, in practice, gluteal muscles and pelvic floor muscles are involved. This is also the reason why the tablet can mobilize most of the muscles of the whole body.
