What is yoga anatomy?

Hello, dear friends ~ I changed my temperament and increased my connotation through yoga. I'm glad to share a little knowledge about yoga anatomy with you.

Yoga anatomyFrom breathing to standing posture, you can see how each bundle of muscles is used and how subtle changes in a posture enhance or weaken the efficiency of the practice. at the same time, you can fundamentally see how the spine, breathing and body posture are related.

The contents are classified as follows:

Arm support type

If you are interested in yoga anatomy, you should buy an authoritative yoga book to study.

Yoga practice is a life-long continuous practice. I hope we can not forget our original ideals and aspirations on the road of yoga, pay attention to breathing, and better become ourselves.

I do not know since when, in the circle of yoga set off a wind of anatomy, especially yoga teachers, yoga private teachers and physiotherapy teachers, not to mention, must learn.

So what exactly does yoga anatomy learn? Sort it out here.

1. The concept of yoga orthopedics, the relative position of the human body, and the three aspects of human movement.

This piece of content, whether it is the anatomy teacher in class, or in a variety of professional anatomy books will mention, very simple, but very important. I think everyone should understand this as common sense.

To take a simple example, I once wrote in an article about a learning acupoint on the outside of my thumb. Someone left a message at the bottom of the comment area saying, "some people say the same acupoint, others say it, but who does it listen to?" . I took two pictures and let's have a look.

Leave a message in the comment area and follow the 👇 picture.

This is a very basic common sense, so we will mention it when explaining or writing an article, and if the reader does not understand it, it will be reversed.

For example, in a handstand, when we say that the shoulders sink, we actually walk the shoulders in the direction of the feet, not the direction of the head.

I happen to have a book in my hand. Take a picture and take a look at it. Take a 👇 picture.

Basically, the teacher will pass through this sentence, and it is also an one-page thing in the anatomy book. I say so much because people tend to ignore some of the most basic knowledge. It is based on these in the positive position of yoga and the direction of movement of each joint.

2. Bones and joints.

Bones: for yoga, there is no need to know so much about bones as a medical student. Just know some bones that are mainly related to yoga asanas and exercises. Such as spine, scapula, collarbone, rib, pelvis, ischial bone as well as big arm, small arm and thigh bone, calf bone and so on.

Joints: the most important thing in yoga anatomy is to learn some of the larger movable joints in the body. Mainly include: ankle, knee, hip, wrist, elbow, shoulder, as well as the connection and characteristics between the vertebrae of the spine.

3. Ligaments and muscles.

Like bones and joints, yoga anatomy focuses on ligaments and muscles for a better understanding of asanas.

4. Respiratory system and human biomechanics.

As far as I know, some don't talk about it directly, and some yoga anatomy classes will briefly mention it.

The role of Yoga Anatomy

For ordinary yoga practitioners, there is no need to systematically study yoga anatomy. Just know some basic common sense.

But learning yoga anatomy is of great help to the practice of yoga asana.

We often say that yoga studies 99% of the practice and 1% of the theory. This 1% theory will make you take fewer detours and get hurt less. So in the part of yoga asana, yoga anatomy undoubtedly belongs to this 1% theoretical part.

In each specific pose, you will clearly know the pose, the movement pattern of the various joints of the body, the movement of the muscles, and the direction of the force.

You will know a lot about the right and wrong points of the specific action details.

At the same time, you will correctly analyze where your body's weakness is that you can't do a certain action, and how to practice your goal asana step by step.
