Pay attention to us with the blue words on it! When the soft tissues in the human body are too stiff, the nerves, blood vessels, joints, spine and viscera can not carry out benign circulation.
Muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and other soft tissues of the body naturally have extensibility and contraction functions.
Through the practice of yoga postures, it can promote its vitality, thus achieving the so-called body softness.
Can I practice yoga with a hard body? It is widely recognized that yoga is the business of those who have a soft body.
How can I practice yoga with such a hard body? This concept has hindered many people from trying yoga, and it is also a problem that the “hard” people are very confused at the beginning of learning.
In fact, the descriptions of “soft” and “hard” are not very appropriate.
What is mentioned here is actually flexibility: mainly including the range of joint movement and muscle stretching state.
When the soft tissues in the human body are too stiff, the nerves, blood vessels, joints, spine and viscera can not carry out benign circulation.
Soft tissue naturally has the function of extensibility and contraction.
Through the practice of yoga postures, it can promote its vitality, thus achieving the so-called body softness.
Elastic limit Muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and other soft tissue movements of the body are stretching – retracting movements, but there is a limit of stretching, beyond which they can not retract.
That is to say, the soft tissue has a fixed extension length, the muscle has the longest extension length, and the tendon, ligament and fascia are much shorter.
If a soft tissue is stretched beyond this limit, it will be very vulnerable to injury.
The flexibility of the muscles of beginners practicing yoga for 3-4 weeks may be improved, but the muscles adapt to the tension faster, but the tendons and ligaments are not so fast.
At this time, the force will be transferred to these soft tissues.
This is why it is not easy to get hurt at the beginning of learning, but it is easy to get hurt when the body becomes softer after a period of time.
In the early stage of yoga, while developing physical ability, body awareness should also keep up with it earlier.
“Hard” people need to know that “hard” people lack flexibility in their body.
The first thing that “hard” people need to know is that their body is always changing.
The human body is not a cement board or an iron bar, but an organic organism.
Yoga is to help the body from hard to soft.
The body is a biological organism that can change.
You can’t open your crotch, you can’t stretch your hamstring, and you can’t open your chest.
With practice and time, your flexibility will gradually increase with the practice of yoga; Of course, it needs continuous self-discipline practice and time, but practice is the key to “open” the body.
If your practice is self-discipline properly, you will be surprised to find that your body changes so fast.
Another advantage of “hard” body is stability.
Stability means that the muscles and tendons around the joint are tight, and the joint is tight and firm.
In this way, it is unlikely to cause physical injury due to joint instability, and such injury will often occur in advanced trainers and “soft” people.
What “soft” people need to know is that the body “hard” is the obstacle for many people to practice yoga.
Most people who practice yoga are very “soft”.
Because people with soft bodies will think yoga is more “suitable” for themselves, which is why there are many “soft girls” in a yoga classroom, but few men.
But the potential problem is that many people don’t get good guidance, Use your body’s flexibility to quickly pursue “difficult” postures, and your body’s flexibility is very good, often because you find “feeling” If you go deeper in the asana, the risk of hurting your body will be higher.
These not only bring many hidden dangers to the safety of the body, but also lead to premature overdraft of the advantage of softness due to the lack of balanced practice and insufficient strength, which can not continue to bloom on the way of yoga.
Here are some suggestions for soft girls: 1.
Strength training.
2.
Don’t pursue difficult poses too quickly.
3.
Positive position.
Yoga is about balance.
If a person is born with soft advantages, he must seek more strength to achieve balance.
The “soft girls” are all on the “right” side.
At this time, they should climb from the right side: the so-called increase of stability is to put insurance on the flexibility of the body by strength training.
So for soft girls, strength training and strengthening body structure are the key points of yoga practice.
If you walk too fast in the initial stage without the stability of your body (the softness guaranteed by strength) and pursue the difficult posture, you will increase the risk of injury.
So a piece of advice for “soft girls” is: “Either you can do it or you should do it”.
There is also the importance of being upright, which is why learning yoga must be guided by experienced teachers in person; Because all materials, such as books, videos, and articles on WeChat official account, cannot replace teachers’ observation and guidance, yoga cannot be taught by oneself.
