I often hear a lot of complaints: why is my yoga not as good as others? How can I get hurt so easily in yoga? I have spent so much time in yoga.
Why can’t I lose fat? Why can’t I persist in yoga? Am I too lazy In fact, most of these problems are caused by our bad habits in yoga.
Today, let’s take a look at the 10 most common questions among yoga people.
If you have them, you can change them.
If you have not, you can encourage them.
01 When many people choose to practice yoga, they first consider that yoga can help them lose weight.
They are eager for quick success and instant benefit.
They want to practice more and more cheaply.
They also want to see the results immediately, but they do not know that this is dangerous.
When their body is not strong at the beginning of the practice, they will accumulate fatigue every day, which is easy to cause sports injuries.
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.
02 Yoga poses overemphasize backward bending, which is a very dangerous movement.
In the long run, the soft tissue between the vertebrae will be damaged, and the spine will only develop in one direction, and other directions will be limited.
There are many segments in the spine, and before learning to control the body, how to practice often is the most easily bent segment.
The fate of the poor segment of the spine can be imagined if other segments of the spine are still not practiced.
03 Abdominal relaxation In the process of yoga, correct breathing not only needs to inhale air into the chest area, but also can feel the expansion and adduction of ribs.
In each breath, you can use your abdominal muscles to press your belly button firmly against your spine.
When inhaling, fill the chest with air and keep the abdominal muscles flat.
Using abdominal muscles in breathing can not only help you breathe correctly, but also protect your waist from pain or injury.
04 Unnecessary strained toes, hunched shoulders, and white joints, we can’t see any sense of relaxation, can we? For some positions with high intensity, it is necessary to start the whole body strength and concentrate, and insist on five breaths, but remember to avoid unnecessary tension in the body during this period.
You should consciously relax your muscles without being too nervous.
Believe in yourself, you can do it! The reckless stretching muscle yoga requires us to pay attention to breathing and experience inner happiness.
However, if your character contains some competitive potential, you may have an uncontrollable desire to surpass others and try to keep consistent with your practice posture.
This will probably strain your muscles.
When practicing, just keep within your maximum tolerance.
You can imitate other people’s postures, but don’t damage your own muscles.
06 If you want to do well in postures, you also want to save effort.
Many postures are hard to practice.
Your hands and feet tremble and your body won’t listen to you.
Yoga lovers are worried about the ugly posture and hope to save some energy to go home to rest.
As a result, when you practice, your body naturally moves towards the direction of saving effort.
The appearance seems to meet the standard, but in fact, many places do not work hard to save effort.
Over time, the joints of the body will bear a lot of unnecessary pressure, which not only makes it difficult to enjoy the effects of yoga, but also causes many problems.
Since yoga is for your health, you should work hard and enjoy yourself.
Sweat is also one of the feelings of achievement.
Instead of thinking about how to save energy, you should think about how to be more tired while doing moves to find out where your body is weak and strengthen your exercise.
07 Too much emphasis on stretching is a good physical activity.
Moderate stretching can keep body tissues young and energetic, and also promote the circulation of qi and blood.
However, many people think that yoga is a strenuous stretching exercise, which is of course wrong.
Yoga does contain a lot of stretching movements, but it is just one of the many elements.
Instead, they mistakenly think that yoga is a stretching person.
When practicing, they stretch their body too much, and loose their body ligaments without knowing themselves.
Instead, they are prone to pain here and there all day long, and don’t know why.
So don’t practice in a single direction, find a good teacher to practice step by step, and let the body develop in balance.
08 There was too much sweat during the practice.
The ancients gave an important warning to yoga, that is, before and after the exercise, never let the wind blow.
When the sweat pores open, the wind will easily invade the body.
If the body is healthy, the pores will immediately close to protect the body.
The sweat under the skin will spread to other pipes before it can be discharged.
This sweat is the sewage of the body, not the clean water, If sewage permeates into cells and is not discharged out of the body, it will become a latent source of disease.
09 It is correct to eat immediately after yoga and practice on an empty stomach before yoga – if you are vegetarian, it is better to practice after 2 and a half hours to 3 hours; If you eat meat, you’d better practice it after three and a half hours to four hours.
However, eating a little fruit or drinking a glass of milk is OK, especially for those with low blood sugar, they need to add a little sugar before practice.
It is wrong to eat immediately after practice.
It is better to wait 30 minutes before eating.
The core of yoga is to exercise postures.
The postures of yoga are only a small part of yoga, and yoga meditation and breathing are the most important.
Moreover, yoga should be continued for a long time.
The good effect is not produced in one hour of practice, but extended to the other 23 hours.
So the more profound influence of yoga is to help people develop healthy and good living habits..
