In summer, because the Qi and blood of the human body are relatively unblocked, the limbs are relatively easy to open
.
Have you found that when you practice high-temperature yoga or summer yoga, the extension range seems to be particularly large? In particular, friends who often sit in the office and blow the air conditioner, have high humidity, arthritis and are not easy to sweat, carry out some targeted yoga exercises in summer, which will help to expel the cold, blood stasis and moisture from the body, and will have a good effect on alleviating the damaged joints
.
It’s about to officially enter the dog days In the hot summer, the heat is unbearable
.
The outdoor is like a huge stove
.
When I enter the barbecue mode, I practice yoga indoors
.
Can I blow the fan or turn on the air conditioner? Regular professional yoga clubs and teachers will say to you: Oh, no! Don’t turn on the air conditioner! It’s really not to save that electricity bill
.
The specific reasons are as follows
.
We all know that athletes can’t immediately blow cold wind or drink a lot of cold water when they are sweating after strenuous exercise
.
At this time, the athlete’s pores are in a completely open state
.
Between the “inside” and “outside” of the human body, the original “barriers” that play a protective role have “withdrawn” in order to give priority to heat dissipation
.
Therefore, if the cold wind blows fiercely at this time, the cold air will go straight through the body, resulting in a sharp “cold contraction” of various tissues and organs of the human body, resulting in various discomfort
.
Pores have a strong filtering effect
.
When we sweat heavily, the filtering protection almost disappears
.
Similarly, when we practice yoga in summer, when we sweat profusely, our body pores will open
.
At this time, when we blow the air conditioner or fan, we feel very cool, but the humidity and cold in the air will drive straight through our pores, skin and muscles, Direct to deep meridians and joints, it is very easy to cause cold, muscle or joint pain, periarthritis of shoulder and other air-conditioning diseases
.
Severe will occur in summer; If it is not serious, the cold and moisture is hidden in the body and occurs in the winter of that year, manifested as shoulder and neck stiffness, low back pain, arthritis, rheumatism, etc
.
From the level of practice, the air conditioning will make the skin less stretch and soft, but become tight
.
Usually, when practicing yoga, you need to relax your muscles, so that you can do some forward bending and backward bending
.
Once the air conditioner is turned on, the temperature becomes artificially cold
.
When practicing, it is either not in place or it is easy to strain yourself
.
The same is true for the joints
.
Can we turn on the air conditioner before class and turn it off when we have class? In principle, it is OK
.
Of course, do not turn on the air conditioner as much as possible
.
If you turn on the air conditioner before class, you must close the doors and windows
.
The air is not circulating enough
.
The most important thing in yoga practice is breathing
.
Breathing needs fresh air
.
Closing the door and closing the window will make the indoor air turbid
.
It will be difficult to breathe after practicing for a while
.
If it is really the hottest period, this may be a solution, but be sure to turn off the air conditioner in advance, open the window for ventilation for a while, and then practice
.
Why do so many people have air conditioning disease now? Many people suffer from dizziness, fatigue, neck pain, colds, closed sweat glands, no sweating, and tight shoulder and neck muscles in summer
.
This is a manifestation of the failure of the air conditioner to operate normally
.
At this time, we can overcome these air-conditioning diseases by practicing yoga, opening our shoulder and neck muscles and allowing the whole body to run with Qi and blood
.
Therefore, it’s best not to turn on the air conditioner when practicing yoga in summer
.
If it’s really hot, you can alleviate the heat in the following ways and ensure the effect of yoga practice at the same time! Method 1: drinking water properly can effectively regulate the body temperature and metabolic balance
.
When practicing yoga in summer, you can prepare a bottle of water next to it
.
If the body sweats too much or is too hot, you can supplement water appropriately
.
At this time, you need to drink water in small mouthfuls and remember to drink it in big mouthfuls
.
Method 2: wear cool and breathable yoga clothes
.
The temperature is high in summer
.
It is not suitable to wear long yoga pants and yoga clothes
.
It is best to wear short sleeved shorts
.
You can also buy some cool, breathable and sweat absorbing yoga clothes, which is conducive to perspiration and heat dissipation
.
Note: do not blow directly into the air outlet of the air conditioner immediately after yoga in order to make it quick
.
Avoid taking a cold bath, blowing the fan or drinking cold drinks immediately
.
If you feel chest tightness, panic, shortness of breath, headache and other discomfort during yoga practice, you should stop practicing immediately and rest in a place with fresh air, good ventilation or normal room temperature, depending on your physical fitness, Avoid excessive or even overload practice
.
Summer is the season with the most Yang in a year
.
The correct yoga practice can open the pores of the skin, regulate the body temperature, eliminate the summer heat, protect the Yang sweat of the body, smoothly discharge the toxin and moisture in the body, calm down, and reject the heat and irritability from the body
.
Summer is also the best time to lose weight
