How to warm up before yoga

Yoga is a favorite sport for many female friends. Yoga has many benefits. Yoga not only has a good health-care effect, but also allows us to have a good figure. In addition, yoga can also cultivate temperament. Before doing yoga, we must do warm-up exercises to avoid hurting ourselves when doing yoga movements. Below we will introduce how to do warm-up exercises before yoga.

Exercise 1 Head rotation

1. Exhale, lower your head, feel your neck muscles stretch, and move your chin as close to your chest as possible.

2. Inhale, turn your head clockwise from the right side, and return to the lowered position.

3. Raise your head and adjust your breathing.

4. Inhale, tilt your head back, and feel your jaw muscles stretch.

5. Exhale and turn your head counterclockwise starting from the left side.

6. Return your head to the center and adjust your breathing.

Key points of the movement: You must control the rotation of your head, especially when it comes to the four directions: front, back, left and right. You must consciously stretch and pause for a short time.

Exercise 2: Body rotation

1. Stand with your feet parallel and shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, back straight, hands hanging naturally, without exerting force on your wrists, and inhale.

2. Exhale, swing your arms, and rotate your upper body, first to the left, then to the right. Remember to keep breathing during the rotation.

Key points of the movement: Stand firmly on both feet, rotate the body with the spine as the axis, and the movement should be rhythmic.

Exercise 3: Relaxing the Hips and Pelvis

1. Sit with the soles of your feet facing each other, knees open, and your hands on your knees on the same side.
