Yoga practitioners are also easy to enter the pit
.
This kind of pressure can be stimulated by the postural photos of friends or even strangers on social media
.
They never think that yoga practice will have a significant impact on their life
.
Yoga teachers and practitioners can apply the principle of “less is more” and focus their efforts on the direction that is really important to them (right picture)
.
Just like I do the official account, I am good at writing, how many people say small videos in my ears, and many are more popular and promising
.
The practice that can really bring the greatest impact to the practitioners is often small and concise
.
It’s hard to be artistic
.
Wrong! This idea puts your brain on the left side of the picture above; especially in the era of social media, the diversity of choices has conquered human’s ability to manage options; and in yoga practice, one of the abilities we need to cultivate is how to make concise choices against the trend of the times
.
Don’t be tempted by too many choices
.
A few days ago, I sent a collection of golden sentences by David Swenson, a master of Ashtanga Yoga (review here)
.
There is also the following illustration in the book: in the above two figures, the effort is the same; but in the figure on the left, the energy is scattered into many activities, and the result is that we have made slight progress in thousands of small directions, but we can not get a kind of experience of fullness and satisfaction; in the figure on the right, we only invest in very little In fact, we can make meaningful progress, and these aspects of meaningful progress are important to us
.
Nowadays, yoga classes in the world are becoming more and more colorful and complex
.
It’s just yoga

The book says that this principle applies to any field of our life: the less we desire, the better, the less we buy, the less we have, the better..
.
A lot of information received by our senses will remain in our subconscious level when the time comes It’s time to stimulate our desire
.
Don’t expose yourself to too much social pressure
.
From the universal value of “you can do it, you can do more” to the anti market value of “less is more, less is good”, it is easy to say and difficult to do, and the business and marketing system of the whole society will be against you; but you have the most reliable ally – Yoga, because people who really start yoga will realize a little chittavitinirodha（ Yoga Sutra 1.2 means that yoga is a process in which the mind fluctuates and tends to calm down), and the process from left to right in the diagram in front of this article is not a process in which the mind fluctuates and tends to calm down?

I have been very small but I have decided to stick to what I love and excel at, because I can not do the same thing at the same time
.
But as practitioners, if we want to spend our efforts and energy on many postures and skills, we will actually get less rather than more
.
In yoga, many people practice for a long time, but they don’t know what they need
.
Don’t make it too complicated
.
When I was reading this book, I thought that yoga practice is also the case
.
The gist of this book is “less is good”
.
I was very impressed by one sentence:* Keepitsimple.It ’ sonlyyoga.Don ’Tmakeitoocomplicated
.
So what should we do? I’d like to make a few suggestions, which I have learned a lot from my recent adoption: 1
.
If you are in a hurry to unlock from this position and then on the way to the next position, you must be sacrificing something more meaningful and putting your physical safety in danger
.
As a result, our comprehensive experience is satisfied
.
Want everything, but the result may be nothing, at least the pursuit of countless sesame on the way to miss the watermelon (or even never thought of watermelon)
.

.
It sounds like you need to pay attention to it
.
Just like life, it is impossible to cover everything (or only belong to a few people)

Yoga studio should cater to the market, so many fancy can sell, so many students, everyone’s needs may be different, who knows who needs what? As a result, the owners and yoga teachers packaged all kinds of fancy postures in one class, and tried their best to highlight all kinds of fancy postures, styles and techniques in the publicity
.
It can also be various suggestions from teachers in training and courses
.
Obviously, the yoga practice we want should be more like the figure on the right
.
In some positions, not everyone’s “ego” has an idea: “you can get all, you can get more”; but this idea is a kind of blind delusion
.
I see a lot of yoga teachers have a long resume list on their resumes: learn this from this master, learn that from that master, have received such training, have learned such style..
.
Such practice is like the figure on the left
.
There are many yoga postures, many practice methods, many postural skills, many breathing skills, many meditation methods, and many different things that the teacher said
.
I happened to read a book recently, this English book “es” entialism:TheDisciplinedPursuitofLess 》(Essentialism: the strict pursuit of less) (author: Greg McKeown)
.
Skills to explore..
.
Make it easy
.
Usually we are motivated by kindness and harmlessness: Yoga is so good, there are so many things to learn, so many postures to unlock, so many interesting, useful, important..
.
What’s more, the ultimate goal of yoga practice is to make the brain clearer
.
In a word When we choose to dominate and use our resources, energy, and efforts, it is the single-minded energy that dominates and strives to bring better results; not more (left), but less (right) can bring us more peace of mind and abundance of life
.
When you try to do everything so that you can do everything, when you are pursuing “more”, in fact, you always withdraw your energy in other places
.
It can also be various “enthusiastic” suggestions from wechat group
.
A big pit is that practitioners practice this and that, and the more they practice, the longer they practice, but they don’t know what kind of impact they have on their life
.
If we want to make achievements in work and life or make life meaningful, we must focus on what we love and are good at
