When some people are new to yoga or do not fully understand yoga, it is said that yoga is a deformed exercise that is harmful to the body.
In fact, yoga is recognized as one of the safest fitness activities in the world.
Yoga has a history of thousands of years, and it has survived for thousands of years.
The main reason is that more and more modern people accept and respect yoga for its beneficial regulation of body and spirit.
From Europe and the United States to Asia, from ordinary office workers to retirees, to stars and successful entrepreneurs, they have all joined the ranks of yoga practitioners, even taking yoga as a daily exercise.
Yoga is also a kind of exercise that harmonizes the body, mind and spirit.
If your member feels uncomfortable or easily injured when she is just practicing yoga, it may be that she has made a mistake in the way she practices yoga.
Here are ten common mistakes that almost every new student has made.
Yoga teachers must tell novice members! When many people choose to practice yoga for weight loss, the first thing they consider is that yoga can help them lose weight.
Most yoga practitioners are eager for quick success and instant benefit.
They practice every day and want to lose weight more quickly.
However, they do not know that this is dangerous.
When the body is not strong at the beginning of the exercise, it accumulates fatigue every day, and often adds burden to the body before recovery, which is easy to cause sports injuries.
This is contrary to the ancient yoga movement.
Yoga has always opposed the anxious attitude of being eager for success.
These people only see one side of yoga, but ignore the essence of yoga – peace of mind.
Yoga practitioners should improve themselves comprehensively from three aspects: body, mind and spirit.
If you really invest in yoga, you will experience the surprise of deep changes in your body.
Looking away from simple body training will not only help reduce sports injuries, but also make real changes in your life.
Many people think yoga is a kind of exercise that makes the body as soft as possible when they choose to practice yoga.
In the course of class, they also just stretch and stretch.
Our ligaments and cross joint muscles are like elastic rubber bands wrapped around the joint between bones, allowing the body to move safely and flexibly.
If you only know how to stretch without considering muscle strength and muscle endurance, the joints will become fragmented and unable to support the body, and the bones will become vulnerable to fracture due to lack of muscle protection.
Therefore, in the process of stretching, we should follow the training of muscle strength and muscle endurance, not just stretching.
The combination of rote memorization of movements and breathing is very important.
For those who have just started yoga training, it is not appropriate to overemphasize the coordination of breathing and movement, but should focus more on the feeling of the body.
Breathe according to the feeling of the body.
When the students gradually learn to experience the feeling of the body, their actions and breathing will naturally be in place.
Learning to listen to the body is also the original intention of yoga.
For friends who are weak in self-awareness and can’t experience correct breathing, try to slow down the rhythm of their movements, and try to experience slowly between breathing and breathing.
New courses emerge one after another.
Practitioners follow the trend blindly.
In recent years, many new yoga courses emerge one after another, including Laughing Yoga, Rhythm Yoga, and Slimming Yoga.
The whole market is becoming increasingly attractive.
Many students are also attracted by the freshness, and they want to try any new lesson.
However, not all new courses are suitable for every practitioner.
In fact, as long as we can master the rhythm of the body and control the awareness and mind in the process of yoga, no matter what kind of practice method, yoga itself cannot be separated.
As a new student, what you should do is to lay a solid foundation first, and then gradually upgrade to find the most suitable yoga genre for yourself.
Only choose the right one, the right one, and blindly follow the trend.
Finally, you can only hurt yourself.
It is believed that sweating is the effective practice of yoga, which is a health preserving skill.
It is about nourishing qi, not consuming it.
Therefore, sweating and strenuous training does not meet the requirements of yoga.
According to the theory of exercise physiology, when we sweat profusely, our blood volume will also decrease.
When the heart pressure increases and the supply is insufficient, the energy system will start the anaerobic system and the aerobic system to supply energy together.
At this time, the amount of fat burning will be greatly reduced compared with the independent energy supply of the aerobic system.
So in this state, we have neither maintained health nor achieved the effect of fitness.
On the contrary, in the process of exercise, it is the best to keep your breath stable and sweat lightly.
No matter what kind of physical state, people who can practice yoga are very broad, regardless of age.
That’s right, but you can’t change the concept into any kind of body to practice yoga postures.
For people with blood pressure higher than 180/100, blood sugar higher than 13, within two months after surgery (including induced abortion), lactation, severe osteoporosis, spinal cord injury resulting in nerve line compression, and severe Meniere syndrome (severe vertigo), it is best to practice with the consent of the doctor.
In addition, no matter young or old, when you first practice yoga, you must have a professional yoga teacher to guide you.
Many friends think that sitting there and looking at the “slides” in their hearts is meditation.
Many friends think that sitting there and listening to the teacher read “essays” and then matching the teacher with a picture in their mind is meditation.
At best, this is just a semi hypnotic fantasy.
Remember that there is a lesson you must do before a long meditation exercise.
This lesson is self cognition.
No matter what pictures flow through your mind, no matter what emotions and feelings come, you should say to yourself, I know I saw a picture or I know I am experiencing an emotion.
Only in this way can we gradually focus on the strength of the spirit, can we see the track of our own thoughts, and can we enter the real realm of meditation..
