1. Warm-up: Before starting yoga practice, it is very important to have proper warm-up activities. You can do simple aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking or skipping rope, to increase body temperature and blood circulation. In addition, do some joint rotation and stretching movements, such as the rotation of neck, shoulders, arms, waist and legs, to prepare the body for yoga practice.
2. Breathing practice: Breathing is very important in yoga practice. Deep breathing can help you relax. Practice abdominal deep breathing. When inhaling, the abdomen expands and when exhaling, the abdomen contracts. Combining breathing with exercise helps the body to open better.
3. Choose the right pose: Some yoga poses are especially suitable for opening the body. For example:
-Adho Mukha Svanasana: This pose can stretch the back of thighs, back and arms.
-Anahatasana: This pose has a good opening effect on the chest, shoulders and the inside of the upper arm.
-Utthita Trikonasana: This pose can stretch the muscles of the waist, hind legs and inner thighs.
-Supta Baddha Konasana: This pose can open the buttocks, chest and groin.
4. Stretch slowly: In yoga practice, you should gradually stretch your body in a gentle way. Don't overexert or force your body into an uncomfortable position. Gradually increase the stretching range and stop at an appropriate time. Regular practice will make your body softer.
5. Long-term persistence: Yoga is a long-term practice that requires persistent practice and patience. By practicing yoga constantly, the body will gradually become soft and open more easily.
Remember, when practicing yoga, you should respect your body, listen to your body's needs, and don't push or overstretch. If you are a beginner, it is recommended to practice under the guidance of an experienced yoga instructor to ensure correct posture and safety.
