Add a wechat circle of friends with teachers to watch teachers ~ Yoga people know that many poses are named after animals.
Do you think the dog pose is like a dog stretching? Is cat pose like a cat stretching after waking up? These asanas in yoga are connected with animals.
Why? This should start from the culture of yoga.
Yoga practitioners in ancient India advocated nature and respected animals.
When they cultivate their body and mind in nature, they inadvertently discover various animals and plants.
They are naturally equipped with methods of treatment, relaxation and cleaning.
They observe, imitate and personally experience, and create a series of body and mind beneficial postures.
Dattatreya, an Indian yoga master, once mentioned that half of his 24 teachers are animals.
He taught us that human beings should keep an open mind and see the value of all things.
Learn from nature and animals.
In most of Dattatreya’s portraits, he is often surrounded by four dogs and a cow.
Four dogs represent the four parts of the Vedas, and the cow represents the mother earth.
In yoga, these poses inspired by animals are not only imitated in form, but also connected with animals in spirit to inspire our minds.
Ustrasana in this pose, the camel’s body is like a “Hump”.
The hump is the symbol of the camel and the place where the camel stores energy to help them better cope with environmental challenges.
When the cobra stands upright, they should explore the surrounding environment, carefully observe and take actions, and imagine how the cobra moves, flexible, light and accurate.
In order to stab the prey, the Scorpion will arch its tail over its back and over its head to attack.
As the birthplace of knowledge and power, the mind is also where pride, complacency, anger and prejudice are generated.
These negative emotions are even more deadly than the scorpion stings.
The practice of this pose is to remove these forces and find its own humility, peace and tolerance.
Simhasana the lion is a noble and powerful king.
When you roar like a lion, it is the time to release pressure and find strength! To get inspiration from animals, we need to open our hearts to respect, understand and connect.
With the development of science and technology, medical devices are becoming more and more sophisticated, but the proportion of sub-health and depression is getting higher and higher.
We gradually forget how to take care of our body and spirit, as well as the relationship and connection with nature.

It found 40kg of plastic waste in its stomach.
It is common news, but it is shocking every time.

A blue footed booby sits in the middle of plastic waste on the beach of Peru, These plastic wastes cause the death of hundreds of thousands of marine animals every year.
