What are the benefits of practicing yoga?

1, reducing the damage to the lumbar spine.

Shoulder opening exercise is a very important part of yoga asana practice, and the degree of shoulder opening is closely related to the degree of reaching posture. For example, when practicing the back bending pose (wheel, pigeon king pose, etc.). ), if the practitioner does not have good shoulder and back control ability, he will begin to practice the back bending pose that needs to be completed by the softness of the lumbar spine. The harm to the practitioner's body is self-evident, and it is very easy to hurt the lumbar spine. After practicing, the lumbar spine will obviously have a tingling feeling.

Step 2 breathe smoothly

The main reason for dyspnea is that there is little room for lung activity. The size of lung space is closely related to the opening and closing degree of shoulder joint.

3. Improve the shoulder and neck problems

According to the survey, the incidence of cervical spondylosis is about 25% in the 50-year-old population, about 50% in the 60-year-old population and almost 100% in the 70-year-old population. However, at present, the incidence of young people is particularly obvious, especially those under 40 years old. Young people aged 20-30 have become the main force of cervical spondylosis. You should pay attention to the rejuvenation of the shoulder and neck! Through some open-shouldered asana exercises, you can relax the stiff and tight muscles and activate the relaxed muscles. When the muscle problem is solved, the shoulder and neck problem will naturally be solved.

4, improve posture, chest and back.

Shoulder joint is not open, usually accompanied by a hunchback posture, which is very obvious from the side and seriously affects personal image. Too tight shoulder joint will make pectoralis major and pectoralis minor tense, the chest curve is not obvious, and it may also be accompanied by the problem of chest sagging. Through the practice of open shoulder posture, you can exercise your chest muscles to some extent.
