There is a Chinese idiom called “too much is too little”, which also applies to yoga practice.
Today we are talking about several manifestations of excessive yoga practice and how to overcome the situation of excessive yoga practice.
Nine manifestations of excessive yoga practice: fatigue, weariness of yoga practice, joint pain, prolonged muscle pain, insomnia, anorexia, frequent injuries, repeated colds, respiratory tract infection.
If you have more than 3 of the above situations, you need to pay attention to whether you have “practiced a little more”.
So why does it happen that you practice too much? Fatigue of the body itself.
Excessive practice means not only the increase of practice time or frequency, but also the poor physical condition of the practitioner, which may lead to the “excessive” exercise plan that was originally completed easily.
Insufficient sleep, insufficient nutrition, illness and other conditions will lead to fatigue of the body itself.
If the fatigue is not recovered, yoga practice will often lead to excessive practice.
Increase the intensity of the exercise.
When the body is not fully prepared, blindly increasing the difficulty, frequency and intensity will lead to excessive practice.
Changes in the external environment.
Unsuitable temperature and humidity will affect the performance of practitioners.
For example, in hot summer, even if it is only your normal amount of practice, you may still have excessive practice.
This is because the changes in the external environment have affected the quality of the practitioners themselves, thus affecting the performance of sports, resulting in excessive practice.
How to avoid over practicing? Keep yourself in good shape.
Eat reasonably, get enough sleep, and maintain a good mood and mentality.
Scientific yoga practice.
Reasonably arrange and frequency according to your training situation and external climate, and don’t be arrogant.
If possible, it is better to practice with professional teachers in a professional yoga studio, because teachers will arrange the most appropriate exercise plan according to different seasons, different body qualities of each practitioner and the actual practice process.
Get plenty of rest and warm up.
In daily yoga practice, give your body enough rest time.
Try not to try difficult poses without adequate warm-up.
If we practice too much, what should we do? Stop practicing and keep taking a rest is the only way to adjust your excessive practice! Attention shall be paid to maintaining body fluid balance and supplementing muscle glycogen.
If the body does not recover, or even the symptoms get worse, you need to see a doctor in time.
In general, excessive exercise means that the body has undertaken excessive training tasks.
Excessive practice not only makes the whole yoga practice hard, but also affects personal emotions; And will let oneself deviate from the original intention of yoga practice.
Therefore, although yoga is good, it is still necessary to “take your time”.
