The Sanskrit name for Easy Seat is: Sukhasana, which is beneficial for the health of the knees and ankles, reduces blood flow in the legs, stimulates the organs, and increases joint flexibility, relieving rheumatism and arthritis.
However, many people encounter problems in Easy Seat, especially the tendency to hunch with rounded shoulders, which is pointless without correct practice!
What are the reasons for hunching with rounded shoulders?
The main reason is weak latissimus dorsi muscles:
Another reason is the core muscle groups not being activated
And the third reason is the hip joint issue:
Tight hip joints can lead to the knees being higher than the mat surface, which can easily cause the pelvis to tilt backward, leading to hunching with rounded shoulders.
How can we improve the practice?
Both excessive forward tilt and backward tilt of the pelvis can cause an incorrect Easy Seat.
The solution for pelvic forward tilt: abdominal muscles slightly contracted, moving the hip muscles outward to make the sit bones contact the ground, allowing the spine to extend upwards and the back to be straightened.The solution for pelvic backward tilt: raise the hips
Complex poses are built upon simple poses, so pay particular attention to simple poses.
