Classification of yoga postures
There are many kinds of yoga poses, which can be roughly divided into seven categories: sitting posture, forward flexion, backward flexion, lateral flexion, torsion, balance and handstand.

1. Sitting posture: No matter how the legs are swung, the spine should be kept straight under natural bending when sitting posture, so that the spine can be lifted and the abdominal viscera will not be squeezed. At the same time, we should maintain physical and mental excitement and avoid falling into a state of dizziness.

2. Forward flexion: This pose stretches and strengthens the back muscles, promotes blood circulation in the back, enhances the flexibility and flexibility of the spine, gently squeezes and massages the abdominal organs, thus promoting digestion and excretion, stretching the muscles and ligaments at the back of the legs, calming the mind and calming the nervous system.

3. Retroflexion: Retroflexion and flexion should be coordinated, that is, after completing a retroflexion, you can easily connect a flexion, so that the spine can be stretched, the intervertebral disc can be reset, and the spine can be fully rested.

4, lateral bending: lateral bending makes the spine more flexible and elastic, reduces the fat on the side waist, and can also pull the left and right waist parts that can't move at ordinary times, affecting abdominal organs.

5. Torsion: When the body is twisted to the left and right, the lumbar vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae and cervical vertebrae can be strongly twisted, which is particularly useful for the nervous system, has the function of soothing and calming emotions, and can gently massage the internal organs to relieve slight back pain.

6. Balance: Balance is a posture that requires some limbs to support the body and maintain balance. It can exercise the sense of balance and coordination of the body and enhance the ability of concentration.

7, handstand: this posture promotes blood circulation, reduces the burden on the heart, and reduces the pressure on the veins of the legs, thus preventing varicose veins.

Extended data:

Yoga poses can strengthen the blood circulation system, respiratory system, digestive system, excretory system, reproductive system, endocrine system and nervous system, and can maintain the balance of each system. People's body and spirit are directly related, and yoga posture can improve people's mental state, thus promoting physical health.

However, it should be noted that although handstand posture is popular, physiological Jia people should pay attention to avoid this posture and not turn the pelvis upside down; Gay people with neck, shoulder, waist and back injuries should not try this pose easily. It is best to do what you can under the guidance of an experienced yoga instructor.
