Everyone thinks that yoga in the ordinary sense is just a few yoga movements. In fact, the concept of real yoga is very large. It has many categories and branches, and there are many postures under each category. Hot yoga is a type of yoga classification, so do you know what postures there are in hot yoga? Let’s go take a look below!
1. Standing and deep breathing
While practicing, always breathe through your nose: this filters out dirty air and harmful bacteria, calms your nerves, and makes your body healthier. Practicing hot yoga must also follow a step-by-step rhythm. Persistence will have good results. Maintain a standing posture, straighten your legs, straighten your spine, bring your heels and big toes together, interlock your fingers on your chin, use throat breathing when inhaling, open your elbows as much as possible, and just touch the backs of your hands to both sides of your cheeks to maximize your posture. Inhale as much as possible, then tilt your head back and bring your elbows together to exhale as much as possible. Repeat this for 10 breaths.
2. Standing head-to-knee pose
Stand with your legs together, grasp the sole of your right foot with your hand, interlock your fingers, and press your big toe with your thumb. Straighten your left knee, make your right leg parallel to the ground, straighten your arms and upper body, hold for 20 seconds, then bend your elbow, bend your body forward toward the leg, hold for 10 seconds, change direction and do the same action again.
3. Dance style
Stand in the Chengshan Gong posture. When you exhale, bend your right calf backward and hold your right calf with your right hand. When you inhale, extend your left arm upward from the side. When you exhale again, use your hips as the pivot point and your upper body forward. Lean and lift your right leg upward. Hold for 5 seconds. Then practice in the opposite direction.
4. Warrior's Third Style
Stand with your fingers intertwined, your index fingers straight and close together, your arms stretched upward and close to your ears. Lift your left leg back and lean forward so that your left leg, body, and arm are in the same straight line. Hold it for 10 seconds, then change the direction and do it again.
