Can I turn on the air conditioner when I do yoga in summer?!

In summer, due to the smooth flow of Qi and blood, the limbs are easy to open

.

Have you found that when you go to high temperature yoga or do yoga in summer, the stretching range seems to be particularly large? Especially the friends who often sit in the office and blow the air conditioner, have arthritis, and are not easy to sweat, have some targeted yoga exercises in summer, which will help the cold, blood stasis and moisture in the body to be discharged from the body, and have a good effect on relieving the damaged joints

.

It’s about to officially enter the dog days   In the hot summer, the heat is unbearable

.

The outdoor is like a huge stove

.

When I enter the barbecue mode, I practice yoga indoors

.

Can I blow a fan or turn on the air conditioner? Regular professional yoga studio and teachers will say to you: Oh, no! Don’t turn on the air conditioner! It’s not really to save the electricity bill

.

The specific reasons are as follows

.

We all know that athletes can’t immediately blow cold air or drink a lot of cold water when they are sweating after strenuous exercise

.

Because at this time, the athletes’ pores are in a completely open state, between the “inside” and “outside” of the human body, all kinds of protective “barriers” have been “removed” in order to give priority to heat dissipation

.

Therefore, once the cold air blows fiercely, the cold air will directly penetrate into the body, leading to rapid “cold shrinkage” of various tissues and organs of the human body, resulting in various discomfort

.

Pores have a strong filtering effect

.

When we sweat, the filtering protection effect almost disappears

.

In the same way, in summer, when we practice yoga and sweat profusely, our pores will open

.

At this time, with air conditioning or fan blowing, we feel very cool, but the air-conditioned moisture and cold will drive into our pores, skin and muscles, Direct access to deep meridians and joints, easy to cause cold, muscle or joint pain, scapulohumeral periarthritis and other air-conditioning diseases

.

The severe ones will attack in summer; Not serious, cold and moisture latent in the body, in the winter attack, performance for shoulder and neck stiffness, backache, arthritis and rheumatism

.

From the practice level, the air conditioning will make the skin not so soft, but become tight

.

Usually, when practicing yoga, the muscles need to be relaxed, which is suitable for doing some forward and backward bending movements

.

As soon as the air conditioner is turned on, the temperature becomes artificially cold

.

When practicing, you either can’t do it properly or you are easy to pull yourself

.

The same is true for joints

.

Let’s turn on the air conditioner for a while before class and turn it off during class, OK? In principle, it’s OK

.

Of course, don’t turn on the air conditioner as much as possible

.

If you turn on the air conditioner before class, the doors and windows must be closed, and the air is not enough

.

The most important thing in yoga practice is breathing

.

Breathing needs fresh air in circulation

.

Closing the door and closing the window will make the indoor air turbid

.

After practicing for a while, you will feel difficult to breathe

.

If it’s really the hottest time, this may be a solution, but be sure to turn off the air conditioner in advance, open the window for ventilation for a while, and then practice

.

Why do so many people have air conditioning disease now? In summer, many people feel dizzy and weak, have neck pain, catch a cold, sweat glands are blocked, and the muscles of shoulder and neck become tight

.

All of these are the manifestations of the abnormal operation of the air conditioner caused by blowing air conditioner

.

At this time, yoga practice, open our shoulder and neck muscles, let the whole body Qi and blood run, can overcome these diseases

.

So it’s better not to turn on the air conditioner when practicing yoga in summer

.

If it’s really hot, you can relieve the heat through the following ways, and at the same time, ensure the effect of yoga practice! Method 1: drinking water properly can effectively regulate body temperature and metabolic balance

.

.

If your body is sweating too much or too hot, you can supplement water properly

.

But at this time, you need to drink water in small mouthfuls, and remember to drink it in big mouthfuls

.

Method 2: wear cool and breathable yoga clothes, summer temperature is high, not suitable for wearing long yoga pants and yoga clothes, the best wear short sleeve shorts, you can also buy some cool and breathable sweat absorbing material yoga clothes, is conducive to the body sweat and heat dissipation

.

Note: do not blow directly into the air outlet of the air conditioner for the sake of instant after yoga

.

Do not take a cold bath, blow a fan or drink cold drinks immediately

.

If you feel chest tightness, palpitation, shortness of breath, headache and other discomfort during yoga practice, you should stop practicing immediately and take a rest in a place with fresh air, good ventilation or normal room temperature, depending on your physical fitness, Avoid excessive or even overloaded practice

.
