Follow Fate to add the teacher’s WeChat to watch the teacher’s circle of friends~ask yourself these 10 questions after practicing yoga for a long time ↓↓↓ 1.
Does my yoga practice balance my life? If you are already engaged in high-intensity sports, such as running, swimming and cycling.
Then, it is recommended that you practice low-intensity yoga, such as Ayengar yoga and repair yoga.
If you seldom exercise at ordinary times, flow yoga, Astonga, etc.
are very suitable.
2.
Do I practice too much? Most yoga people advocate practicing 5-7 days a week, even difficult yoga.
However, for beginners, too much practice will bring pressure on joints, ligaments and muscles.
It is recommended to practice 3-4 times a week.
If you like to practice high-intensity yoga, you must intersperse soft yoga, such as yin yoga.
3.
What is my motivation to practice yoga? Is it your teacher? Your ego? Social networks? Your body? We are not opposed to challenging difficult postures, but we should pay more attention to the upright position and stability of the body.
If the body is not ready, do not pursue difficult and deep postures.
4.
Will my practice cause harm? If you feel pain, stop.
Even though the teacher thinks you can go deeper, no one knows your body better than yourself.
If you are injured, you must tell the teacher in advance.
If an individual makes you feel pain, stop and see what the reason is.
Sometimes, when you stop, the pain will disappear after a few days.
5.
Do I protect my shoulder? Is the shoulder lower than the elbow in the four-column support posture? Do you jump back every time you do a tandem position? Jump back to four-column support or inclined plate? It is recommended not to jump too much, but to jump to the four-column support instead of the inclined plate.
If there are too many four-pillar supports in flow yoga, you should bend your knees to do it.
If you have a shoulder injury, you should avoid reducing the practice of four-post support and other arm support postures.
6.
Do I protect my hip joint? Do you listen to the voice of your body? As in postures that require external rotation of the legs or deep hip flexion (such as compass, firefly, etc.), observe where your body can reach without forcing.
It is necessary to balance the flexibility of the hip and the exercises of adduction, abduction and hip strength.
7.
Do I protect my knee joint? In the standing leg bending posture, the knee should not exceed the ankle.
In the posture with the legs straight, do not overextend the knees.
In the standing pose that requires external rotation of the thigh, such as Warrior II, the front leg starts to rotate from the root of the thigh, not the foot.
When doing lotus pose, learn to open your hips, remember to warm up, and don’t squeeze your knees.
8.
Do I protect my waist? Do you warm up when doing deep twists? If the waist and the back of the thigh are tense, be careful when bending forward, bend the knee to do it, not bend the waist.
9.
Do I pay attention to the alignment and stability of my body? When necessary, use assistive tools to keep the body in the right position to avoid injury.
10.
No matter how much I practice, am I happy and satisfied? Focus on the present, focus on what you can do now, not what you can do before, or what you want to do.
Your practice will change over time.
Don’t stick to asana.
It doesn’t mean you don’t have a goal, but you should respect your body step by step and enjoy the process of practice.
In addition to external postures, there are many more yoga exercises, such as breathing, meditation, etc.
