If we really understand yoga from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there is no essential difference between the practice of asana and general exercise.
If it is an action of super physiological structure and excessive relaxation of joints, these strange “asanas” may not be as good as other movements.
However, pranayama / pranayama is of high value and can be significantly different from other exercises.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the term “Qi” used to describe energy refers to the subtle substances that promote and maintain physiological activities and life movements in the human body.
From the perspective of modern medicine, it should be more consistent with the regulation of the body’s nerves.
In fact, various physiological activities of the body are regulated by the nervous system.
The movement of “Qi” in the human body is called “Qi machine”, which has four basic movement forms: rising, falling, going out and going in.
Under the normal dynamic operation of the Qi engine, the lifting, opening and closing are smooth and balanced, so the synthesis and decomposition of the body are also balanced, ensuring that all physiological functions can be carried out normally.
Back to the pranayama method of yoga, it is precisely used to regulate the out, in, up and down of energy, so it can naturally play the role of regulating the Qi, regulating the nervous system and promoting the self-regulation of the body.
Maybe some students will ask, is the asana useful? As we have said before, is there any difference between the essence of asana and general movement, but it is useless not to represent it.
In fact, asana exercises are as useful as general exercises.
They can be used to repair the body, the container of “Qi” and “energy”.
Therefore, at the beginning, we can evaluate and remove the restriction of the body through postures, so as to make the container more unobstructed.
At this stage, focus on the movement of the body and the feeling of the body.
Then we can try to use the change of container shape to guide the flow of “Qi” and “energy” on the basis of asana.
At this time, we will add breathing regulation to asana practice.
For example, we will raise our arms when we breathe in and let them fall when we breathe out.
We use actions to guide energy up / down or open / close.
When the “container” of our body is unobstructed enough, the movement of Qi will be more smooth.
At this time, we will naturally join the “breathing method / pranayama” practice.
This is why I encourage you to do dynamic exercises.
At the beginning, you should not worry about whether to breathe in or out.
First, you should find a comfortable and stable position and posture.
The container is not restricted, and your breathing can not be hindered.
Only then can you have the conditions to consider further things.
At present, I am going to write a series on yoga practice from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.
In fact, since I started to teach aromatherapy in 2015, I have been teaching the application of basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine and prescription ideas.
I haven’t said much in the Yoga circle, mainly because I don’t think it is necessary to prove that my yoga teaching is good through the name of traditional Chinese medicine and aromatherapy, because I have been teaching well.
Since everyone is very interested in this, I will share it slowly.
This series will be called “Yoga from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine”.
