Posizioni yoga per ogni parte del tuo corpo

One of the beauties of yoga is that many poses work your whole body. Unlike having a “legs day” or “arms day” at the gym, doing a regular yoga practice can easily incorporate your entire anatomy. Even if you pick a body part you want to work on and tailor a practice that way, you’ll still feel the benefits elsewhere.

Questa guida ti aiuterà a trovare pose che rafforzano e / o aprono i principali gruppi muscolari. Per ogni area anatomica, vedrai un elenco di pose divise in livelli di pratica principiante, intermedio e avanzato. Usali per pianificare le tue sessioni di yoga o scoprire di più sulle pose che fai in classe. Di seguito sono riportate alcune sequenze pre-pianificate che mirano a quell’area del corpo.

Petto e spalle

Pose per aprire il petto e il cuore ti centrano. Poiché l’approccio dello yoga è olistico, c’è una certa sovrapposizione tra backbend e allungamenti delle spalle. Gli allungamenti della spalla rilasciano la tensione, che aiuta a prevenire il dolore alla schiena e al collo. Poiché le spalle possono essere vulnerabili alle lesioni, soprattutto con l’età, non esagerare.

Questi esercizi per il torace possono essere particolarmente utili se ti siedi a una scrivania per lunghe ore.

Lo yoga offre molte pose di apertura del torace e del cuore,tra cui le seguenti.

  • Beginner:Supine spinal twist, cat-cow stretch, warrior II, cobra pose, triangle pose, extended side angle pose, sphinx pose, cow face pose, restorative heart opener
  • Intermediate: Bridge, upward-facing dog, reverse warrior, bow pose, camel pose, locust pose, king dancer pose, half moon pose
  • Advanced: Wild thing

Prova la seguente serie per colpire il petto e le spalle:

  • Yoga poses for nursing moms (and others who have hunched posture): Cat-cow stretch, sphinx pose, restorative heart opener, bridge pose, half boat pose, forward bend with interlaced fingers, extended triangle pose, to downward facing dog
