Don’t ask the elderly whether they can practice yoga or not.
Here is a 100% positive answer.
You can practice, and it’s best to practice! Because the physical strength of the elderly has a certain degradation compared with that of the young, yoga can promote blood circulation, promote metabolism, expel toxins from the body, and improve the flexibility of the body.
However, it requires long-term persistence and correct practice to achieve the effect of recuperating and improving physical fitness.
At the same time, the elderly need to pay attention to many problems in the process of yoga practice.
According to the past teaching experience, the summary is as follows: 1.
The elderly with zero foundation should practice yoga for a period of time under the protection of private education.
For the elderly who have not practiced yoga, the functions of all parts of their bodies have declined to varying degrees compared with those of adults.
For example, the elderly are more prone to falls and sprains.
It is best to practice under the care of yoga teachers.
Because I have no experience, I don’t know what can be done and what should be done.
This is often where I get hurt.
For example, when I practice steadily, I misjudge my physical ability and get hurt.
After a period of practice and a certain understanding of yoga, you can try to follow the big class.
2 For the elderly with diseases, before deciding to practice yoga, they should go to the hospital for examination and inform the teacher in detail.
Such as: heart disease, knee effusion, osteoporosis, hypertension, cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, just after surgery and other diseases, you need to check the severity in the hospital and tell your yoga teacher exactly.
Some time ago, an aunt practiced yoga because she ignored the severe calcification of cervical spondylosis.
As a result, she was paralyzed in bed.
Even if she followed a professional yoga teacher, if she did not tell her illness, the injury might not be avoided.
If you don’t tell me about these symptoms, the yoga teacher certainly doesn’t know, which may lead to related injuries.
Therefore, for their own safety and for the sake of yoga teachers, it is recommended that such elderly people check their physical conditions before practicing yoga.
3.
Have a correct attitude, do not compare with others, and just reach your own limit.
Your body has been stiff for decades.
Don’t expect how much you can achieve through a few yoga classes.
It’s impossible, unless you dream.
When practicing yoga, do not try to be brave, but act according to your ability, follow the principle of gradual progress, and do not deliberately pursue “standards” and high difficulty.
First, slowly practice some simple yoga movements.
After you become proficient, you can properly learn some slightly difficult movements, but don’t be too impatient, or you will bring trouble to yourself.
4 Other problems, such as practicing yoga 2 hours after dinner, not wearing jewelry, and not taking a bath immediately after the course, are consistent with the precautions for adults to practice yoga, and will not be explained in detail.
