A must-have tool for yoga beginners, how to choose yoga bricks, and yoga bricks to correct posture and movements!
As a newbie in yoga practice, almost every yoga practitioner cannot do without a yoga aid in the early stages of contacting yoga, and that is yoga bricks. Yoga bricks can help beginners complete some more difficult movements. First of all, you need to choose a quality yoga brick, such as its material and density. How to choose it? The editor will teach you how to identify it in detail. Also, if you have your own yoga brick, using it in the right way will be a stepping stone for your fitness. It is especially important for your later practice.
The existence of yoga aids is actually to help first-time practitioners reduce their inner fear and tension, and to help practitioners better adapt to the sport of yoga itself. One of the most utilized yoga aids is the yoga brick, which not only helps improve body stiffness but also creates a better foundation for local body exercises.
A friend was deeply troubled by the posture problem of leaning her neck forward and hunching over. She began to pay attention to this problem in private when others noticed her, even though she already paid attention to tightening her neck and straightening her neck when standing or sitting. Although I have a straight back, I will still unconsciously stretch my neck forward when working on the computer, and my waist will also bend accordingly. As her posture problems become more and more serious, which has affected her social life, the girl has become less and less confident.
I recommended that she practice some yoga movements to correct her posture problems. After hearing this, she expressed that she was very happy and started practicing diligently. She encountered some problems at first. Because she had to sit still for a long time while working at the computer, her spine was stiff and her flexibility was not very good. I gave her the yoga blocks I was using to help her turn on her body switches and increase her flexibility. After practicing for a period of time, her posture has improved significantly and she has become more confident. She has also repurchased a few yoga bricks. So what should you pay attention to when choosing yoga bricks?
one. Density
Yoga bricks, as supportive yoga aids, have relatively high requirements for load-bearing capacity and pressure resistance. The first thing that should be considered is the density issue. The density of this yoga brick is very high and its pressure resistance is also relatively good. Moreover, high density also has the characteristic that it is not easy to breed bacteria and is very healthy with regular use.
2. Details
If the corners of the yoga block are designed with sharp corners laterally, then the palms may be injured when using it for support or as a stress point, causing unnecessary trouble. You can avoid this problem when choosing yoga bricks. Its corners are made of gold cutting technology, which not only feels good but also has an anti-slip effect.
three. Material
Yoga aids that can directly contact the skin have relatively high safety requirements, so we must pay attention to the material accordingly. This yoga brick is made of EVA, which is natural, environmentally friendly and has no odor. It also has good resilience to protect joints during exercise. Choosing a suitable yoga block can play a very good supporting role when practicing yoga poses of varying degrees of difficulty. Here are some yoga moves that use yoga blocks to correct posture.
Action 1: Detailed explanation of bridge
action: Lie on your back on a yoga mat, place your hands palms down on both sides of your hips, then bend your legs and knees, raise your calves, put the soles of your feet flat on the ground, and put your heels as close to the direction of your hips as possible. Keep the distance between your feet and knees as wide as your hips, raise your hips and arch your back upwards, and place the yoga block vertically under your tailbone. This movement helps straighten the spine and make the back straighter.
Action 2: Detailed explanation of the triangle pose
action: First stand in the mountain pose, step both feet to both sides, and the distance reaches your limit. First turn your left foot outward 90 degrees, then turn your right foot slightly inward.When inhaling, open your hands in a sideways position. When exhaling, extend your left hand toward the left foot and sink it. Move your right hip backward and move your right hand upward toward the ceiling, so that the ear, shoulder, and knee on the left side are in line. in a straight line. Place the yoga block vertically next to your left hand, place your left hand on top of the yoga block, look at the right fingertips, slowly lift the upper body with your arms and switch to the other side to start practicing.
With the yoga brick, in addition to assisting in the achievement of yoga poses, if you feel pain in your lower back in daily life, you can also place it in the corresponding place, which can well relieve the pain. Generally speaking, choosing a yoga brick that suits you is very helpful for achieving standard yoga postures and yoga advancements. On the road to fitness, you must be lonely, but persistence will make you see the light, so after using the right method, you need to work hard for your plan for a long time. What fitness needs most is perseverance. I believe that if you insist on following the above method, you will quickly get started with yoga and then advance to the next step. A perfect figure is waiting for you!
