Yoga practice diary 7- standing in a mountain posture to correct the spine
All our postures, the most important thing is to exercise the spine, let it return to the correct position and remain flexible. People with healthy spine can avoid most of the pain in head, neck, waist and back; On the contrary, spinal deformation will compress nerves, cause numbness of limbs and affect visceral circulation. Moreover, if the spine can't bear the weight of the body in its original place, bone hyperplasia will occur-more bones will grow to support the body.

Modern people have a high proportion of problems from cervical vertebra to caudal vertebra, not only because of the popularity of computers, but also because of the wrong posture of standing and walking, and the deformation of the spine caused by watching mobile TV at rest.

The first pose we learn is "mountain standing", which is a very useful pose and can be practiced at any time in daily situations. Can help straighten bones, enhance muscle strength and consume fat. The only drawback is that standing up will be a little tired. But it is particularly worth thinking about that waiting for the bus or waiting in line can be practiced without spending money! Next, I will share the main points of this pose.

First of all, the center of gravity of the body is placed at the midpoint of the toe ball, heel and the outside of the foot, which are the three stress points. You can judge whether the center of gravity is evenly distributed by observing the wear of your sole. Some people's forefoot wears away quickly, and some heels tilt inward or outward. For example, in my previous shoes, the outside of the heel was worn off first, which shows that I am used to focusing on the back of the outside. Long-term skew of leg bones to both sides will lead to collapse and abdominal protrusion. The deviation of lumbar vertebrae will lead to the displacement of cervical vertebrae and thoracic vertebrae. So in those years, I had to do regular massage every month to relieve the pain of shoulder, neck and coccyx. Even now it has not been completely eliminated. Many elderly people, such as my mother, have bone spurs on their feet because they need more bones to support their bodies, and some bones that should be stressed may not be used.

Second, the muscles of the legs are tightened, which drives the knees to be lifted up, the abdomen to be adducted, the buttocks to be clamped, and the pubic bone to be lifted up. This series of hidden actions is very important. We will obviously feel the relaxation of the whole body near the core of the body, and at the same time feel tired and tired, because we don't use the muscles of the body often, and we will feel strange and tired. Believe me, keep practicing, and you will find that the pain in the waist and coccyx will be relieved immediately, and your posture will look younger! You don't have to buy expensive corsets, which will make your blood not smooth and affect your consumption. Activating muscle strength by yourself can accelerate blood circulation, and the body needs to burn stored fat to provide muscle contraction strength. Typical static aerobic exercise, you must try it!

Third, stand up straight, lift the sternum, relax your shoulders and sink naturally. The sternum lift does not stand forward, but extends to the top of the head, just like someone carrying the hair on the top of the head. Our shoulders often rise unconsciously, and some of them are unconscious confrontational postures caused by subconscious pressure. Conscious deep breathing can relax your shoulders.

The above is the introduction of "Mountain Station", remember to do it at any time! This is also an investment in yourself-an investment in health with scattered time and energy. After you try it out, if you have any effect and feeling, welcome feedback! Wish all my friends good health!
