Yoga moves to eliminate trapezius muscles

The trapezius muscle is a triangular muscle on the back of the human body. Due to functional reasons, this part is very developed. Some of it is due to fitness training. In fact, it is normal for the muscles in this area to be well developed and it is not a disease. However, in the summer, once you wear thin clothes, your trapezius muscles will be visible, which looks very ugly. So, what are some yoga moves that can eliminate trapezius muscles? Let’s take a look below.

1. Ear-to-shoulder pose

Relax and lean your right ear towards your right shoulder. Your left shoulder may naturally shrug. At this time, tilt your head back until you feel your left shoulder moving backward and downward. Raise your right hand above your head and place your hand on your left cheekbone. Do not pull your head hard. This action can stretch the upper trapezius muscle. Hold your breath for 30 seconds. Next, use your left ear to find your left shoulder and take a deep breath.

2. Crocodile pose

It may feel uncomfortable at first, and it may seem strange to relax while lying on your stomach, but this pose can really help you relax your trapezius muscles. Lie on your stomach with your feet hip-width apart. Place your hands together under your chin. Next, place your forehead on the backs of your hands. This can relieve pressure on your lower back, but your main focus is on lengthening your spine and relieving tension in your upper back and neck. Breathe deeply and relax. .

3. Cobra pose

This pose not only relieves tension in the lower neck and trapezius muscles and stretches the front of the neck, but also increases spinal flexibility, strengthens the back and arms, and prevents trapezius muscle problems from worsening. Lie prone on the mat with your legs straight and your feet shoulder-width apart. Place your hands naturally on both sides of your body with your forehead touching the ground. Place your hands on both sides of your chest with your five fingers open and your elbows tucked inward. Inhale, get ready, tighten your thigh muscles, press your insteps against the ground, exhale, raise your head and chest, and let your head lead the neck, chest, and abdominal spine to extend forward and upward. Push the ground with your hands, slowly straighten them, and relax your hips.

4. Cat-Cow

This pose can relieve tension in the spine and stretch the back muscles and the front of the torso. When you want to exercise the trapezius muscles, focus on the area between the shoulder blades, alternately arch your neck, and become a four-corner bench position, with your knees directly below your hips, your elbows directly below your shoulders, and your wrists and elbows in a straight line. Inhale, lift your sitting bones, raise your head to expand your chest, extend your spine and hips to both ends, slightly retract your abdomen to avoid collapsing your waist, exhale, lower your head and arch your back, with your back arched, and your eyes looking towards your navel.

5. Pagoda style

This pose can relieve pressure on your spine, strengthen your upper back and shoulders, and lengthen and relax your neck muscles. Stand with your feet parallel and your legs about one leg's length apart. Place your hands on your hips and slowly bend your upper body forward, keeping your feet firmly on the floor. If you feel unstable, bend your knees slightly or place your hands on the ground shoulder-width apart. Once you are standing firmly, cross your hands behind your back, hug your shoulders, and place your hands on the floor. When you feel completely stable, cross your hands behind your back, hug your shoulder blades, and lower your arms toward the floor.
