Using wall ropes to support the armpits is a subtle yet powerful way to assist the body in yoga practice.
The support creates space in the shoulder joints, helping to release neck and shoulder tension while allowing the arms to extend from the expansion of the torso rather than muscular strain. With the armpits supported, the chest opens more naturally, and breathing becomes deeper and steadier.
Wall ropes also help the spine lengthen with less compression, offering a safe way to reorganize posture, especially for those with a collapsed upper back or tight chest. At the same time, the support reduces over-effort in the arms and shoulders, encouraging the body to work as an integrated whole.
Supporting the armpits with wall ropes is not just physical assistance — it teaches the body how to create space and find lightness within stability.
在练习时，将墙绳托住腋下，是一种非常细腻而有效的辅助方式。
当腋下被绳子轻轻承托时，首先带来的，是肩关节空间的释放。很多人在手臂上举或后弯时，会不自觉耸肩或挤压肩膀，久而久之容易造成肩颈紧张。绳子的托扶能帮助肩胛骨更稳定地贴附背部，让手臂的延伸来自躯干的展开，而不是单纯依赖肩膀用力。
腋下得到支撑后，胸腔更容易自然展开。当上背部有了空间，呼吸会变得更顺畅，横膈膜的活动也更自由。很多学生会发现，在这种支撑下，呼吸会变得更深、更稳定，身体内侧也更容易产生扩展感。
墙绳同时也帮助身体建立向上延伸的方向感。当身体重量部分被托住时，脊椎能够在减少压力的状态下延展，尤其对于上背部容易塌陷或胸口习惯内收的人来说，这是一种安全而温和的重新排列。
另外，腋下的支撑还能减少手臂与肩膀过度用力，让练习者学会用身体整体去协作。学生会慢慢觉察到，力量并不是集中在某个关节，而是从脚、骨盆、脊椎到手臂形成连贯的整合。
墙绳托住腋下，不只是支撑身体， 更像是在提醒身体如何打开空间、 如何在稳定中找到轻盈。
