A few years ago, “Anatomy Train” became popular in the yoga community, and many people also brought the concept of anatomy train into yoga teaching and practice; For example, the fascia theory that we are most familiar with.
This is a good phenomenon, at least it means that our yoga philosophy is also beginning to update; But if we look at the practice in yoga classrooms, we can also easily find many misunderstandings.
For example, I still hear many yoga teachers say “stretch” the fascia, or that a certain yoga pose has the effect of relaxing the fascia here and there.
For example, forward bending can relax the fascia on the back of the body, while camel style can open the front chain of the body Some people say ‘there is no yoga in the yoga studio’, but at least there are various’ weapons’ for relaxing the fascia – guns, knives, wheels And related ‘eighteen martial arts’.
