Especially the students who just practice yoga like to practice yoga by looking at themselves in the mirror
.
However, professional yoga teachers generally don’t recommend practicing yoga by looking in the mirror
.
Why? First ask yourself, why do you practice yoga in the mirror? Maybe most of the students will say that you can see if your posture is correct
.
In fact, it doesn’t necessarily need external eyes
.
To practice yoga is to observe and feel your body with your inner eyes, to feel whether your body is in the right or wrong position, whether your pelvis is in the right position, and so on
.
Some things are invisible to the naked eye
.
For example, the inner side of your leg doesn’t exert enough force, the pelvic floor muscles don’t start, and for example, the thoughts in your heart are invisible to the naked eye
.
Closing the eyes can reduce external interference
.
When you use your eyes to see, in fact, part of your energy runs out of your eyes instead of drawing in
.
At this time, your energy is lax, your attention is not focused, and your practice is disturbed
.
Yoga pays attention to the adduction of the external senses, and the external senses are the most likely to affect people’s eyes
.
Yoga, is to explore the inside, not to look outside
.
A heart practicing yoga, a yoga mat, enough
.
The rest should be abandoned, and the rest is the purest.
