Add the teacher’s wechat circle of friends to watch the teacher ~ ask yourself these 10 questions after practicing yoga for a long time ↓↓ 1 Does my yoga practice balance my life? If you’re already doing high-intensity sports, such as running, swimming and cycling.
Then, it is recommended that you practice low-intensity yoga, such as iyenga yoga and restorative physiotherapy yoga.
If you usually do little exercise, flow yoga and astonga 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 put pressure on joints, ligaments and muscles.
It is recommended to practice 3-4 times a week.
If you like to practice high-intensity yoga, be sure to 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? Do not oppose challenging difficult asanas, but pay more attention to the positive position and stability of the body.
If the body is not ready, do not pursue difficult and in-depth asanas.
4.
Will my practice hurt? If you feel pain, stop.
Even if the teacher thinks you can go deeper, no one knows your body better than yourself.
If you have been hurt, be sure to tell the teacher in advance.
If an individual makes you feel pain, stop and see why.
Sometimes, when you stop, the pain disappears in a few days.
5.
Do I protect my shoulder? Is the shoulder lower than the elbow in the four pillar pose? Do you jump back every time you do tandem position? Plank or inclined to four pillars? It is recommended not to jump too much, but to jump to four column support instead of inclined plate.
If there are too many four pillars in flow yoga, bend your knees and land on the ground.
If you have a shoulder injury, avoid practicing less four column support and other arm support postures.
6.
Do I protect my hip? Do you listen to your body? As a pose that requires leg rotation or deep hip flexion (such as compass, firefly, etc.), observe where your body can reach, and don’t force it.
Balance hip flexibility with exercises of adduction, abduction and hip strength.
7.
Did I protect my knee? In the posture of standing and bending the legs, the knees should not exceed the ankles.
In the straight leg pose, do not overstretch your knees.
In standing poses that require external rotation of the thigh, such as Warrior II, the front leg rotates 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? Is there a warm-up during the deep twist? If the back of the waist and thighs are tense, be careful when bending forward.
Bend your knees instead of bending down.
9.
Did I pay attention to the alignment and stability of my body? When necessary, use assistive devices and keep the body in the right position to avoid injury.
10.
Am I happy and satisfied no matter how much I practice? 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 posture.
It doesn’t mean you don’t have a goal, but step by step, respect your body and enjoy the process of practice.
In addition to external postures, there are many other forms of yoga, such as breathing and meditation.
Let yoga practice serve your physical and mental development.
Don’t practice for practice- Today’s topic: let practice serve the development of body and mind.
