Practicing yoga without flexible bends is effective
When thinking about yoga, many people are often worried that they cannot touch their toes or are not flexible enough to practice. In fact, yoga is not only about difficult movements but also a connection with the body and mind.
According to expert Siddhaa Akshar, founder of Akshar Yoga Research and Development, Bengaluru (India): Natives who practice yoga do not need to be too flexible. Basic poses can help improve strength, balance, and breathing control. The most important thing is to maintain patience and practice regularly".
Some basic but effective poses for beginners include:
Tadasana: Helps improve posture, increase body awareness and regulate the habit of leaning against the back.
Utkatasana (Seat pose): Strengthens the legs, buttocks, and core muscles, while improving concentration.
Increase back and spine strength with simple postures
If you want to increase your back strength, Ardha Chakrasana (Half wheel) is a light but effective choice. This pose helps stretch the chest, improve posture and reduce muscle tension for those who sit on a lot.
In addition, Chakravakasana (S Prop - cow) is a gentle exercise that helps warm the spine, reducing tension in the neck, shoulders and lower back. This is also a great warm-up before entering a longer series of yoga practices.
For those who want to combine strength training and balance, Veerabhadrasana (Warrer) will be a suitable pose. This move activates the leg muscles, improves hip movement, and reduces lower back pain.
expert Akshar emphasized: Warring poses help build confidence, train concentration and develop positive energy in the body. Newcomers only need to exercise at a moderate intensity, without forcing the body".
Starting with simple yoga poses is the best way to build a foundation for your health. Instead of forcing your body to be flexible from the beginning, enjoy a step-by-step training journey. With the above 5 poses, you will clearly feel the changes both physically and mentally.
