Mindful Movement: Yoga Poses to Practice While Watching TV

 

I’ll demonstrate 10 poses for you this month that you can practice while watching TV. Given that yoga may be one of the only opportunities you get to be distraction-free, I was on the fence about writing this post. to experience a little period of solitude during which you can fully concentrate on your body and mind.

 

You might not even be aware of your lack of flexibility until you step onto a yoga mat. In order to make our everyday routines as comfortable and energy-efficient as possible, our bodies are incredibly adept at adjusting. However, pain—whether intermittent or constant—is possible, especially in the lower back, neck, and shoulders. When you first wake up in the morning, you could feel stiff, and you might find that your lack of flexibility prevents you from performing some activities.

 

Later in the day, when your muscles are still warm and supple, is the ideal time to practice flexibility. It can be beneficial to add a yoga session at the conclusion of your normal workout if you want to establish a new habit. To take advantage of stretching effects on calming the body and mind, the evening is another excellent time.

 

 But there are a few factors I wanted to highlight for you

 

1.Position. Having bad posture all day long can be just as bad for your body as riding a bike. Therefore, by performing these postures while seated for a lengthy time, you are putting your body in various positions that will aid in reducing stiffness and addressing muscular imbalances.

 

2.Time: I am aware that finding 15 minutes each day to focus on flexibility and mobility might be challenging, so by doing it this way, you can accomplish two goals at once.

 

3. Motivation: I’m assuming that most of you wouldn’t characterize yoga as enjoyable. Even while you could feel fantastic after doing it, you probably need an extra push to actually do it. This will allow you to fit in some important recovery exercises even if you don’t feel like doing a full 15-minute session.

 

The stances are as follows, beginning with your feet. Hold each one for two to five minutes while exhaling through your nose.

 

1. Screaming toe pose:

 

Your ankles, arches, and toes are stretched in this position. You must maintain a straight spine throughout every pose. You should have a straight line from your hips to your shoulders to your ears.

2. Easy Pose

 

• Cross-legged sitting is an excellent strategy to improve hip external rotation. You must, however, keep your spine straight.
• Sit up on one, two, or three cushions until your hips are parallel to or higher than your knees. Your knees don’t need to be compressed in any way. Your hips will gradually widen up if you continue to sit in this manner.
• Do not forget to change legs.

 

3. Upper Body Mobility

 

         You may improve your upper body flexibility and mobility in this posture by stretching your muscles and                       allowing your joints to move through their complete range of motion.

 

4. Sphinx

 

• This position is excellent for relieving lower back tension and reversing your rounded-over riding stance.
• Be careful to avoid losing your shoulders.
• If you hold this position for too long, your neck could get sore. Therefore, come in and out of it frequently.
• A child is the ideal contrast.

 

5. Pigeon

 

• To stretch your glutes, outer hips, and hip flexors, lower yourself into Pigeon.
• Put a cushion beneath the hip of the bowed leg if your hips are not level, then sink fully into the posture.

 

6. Puppy

 

• During the commercial breaks, return to puppy posture to extend your spine, shoulders, and chest.
• In reverse prayer, you can tighten your lats and triceps by bringing your palms together behind your head.

 

7. Yoga Squat

 

• If you have the flexibility in your ankles and hips, the yoga squat is another excellent sitting position.
• If not, you can stand on your tiptoes and rest a pillow under your heels.
• Here, twisting is incredibly enjoyable.
