To sum up yoga, what is yoga?
What is yoga?
Xiao Jia has seen the difficult yoga poses made by Indian yoga masters. Almost every action challenges the limits of human body softness. Many people do not understand the world of yoga people and twist their bodies into various shapes. Whether it is challenging the human limit or explaining to everyone what is the real yoga exercise. I believe that we practice yoga not to break through the limit of physical softness, but only to exercise and enhance softness and coordination. Today's asana can better strengthen the torsion and softness of the body. after all, yoga is not only to strengthen the softness of the body, but also to relax the body and mind.
Pose 1: standing flexion and extension variant
1. Stand up and do mountain yoga poses. Keep your body straight and extend upward. Put your arms on both sides of your body and look ahead.
2. Stretch your arms forward, bend forward, keep your legs apart for shoulder width, keep your upper torso close to your legs and your forehead close to your legs.
3. Keep your upper body back, keep your legs straight, put your shoulders back on the back of your knees, bend your hands back, hold your legs, and hold each other behind your back.
4. Hold this position for a few minutes, then return to the mountain stand.
Pose 2: sitting angle
1. Squat on the yoga mat, bend your knees with your legs together, lean your upper body forward and keep your legs close to each other, keep your head straight and put your arms on both sides of your body.
2. Separate your legs to both sides, sink your buttocks, stretch your legs to both sides and press the ground, bend your knees, and keep your heels close to the base of your thighs.
3. Grasp the toes of both feet with both hands, lean forward with the upper body, chest close to the ground, bend elbows, head back, chin toward the ground, look forward.
4. Keep this position for a few minutes to maintain your balance.
Pose 3: strengthen leg stretching
1, the body stands on the yoga mat, do mountain standing, legs slightly apart about half shoulder width, hands naturally hanging, steady breathing, looking ahead.
2. Slowly transfer the center of gravity to the left foot, lift the right leg straight up from the front, keep the right leg straight, the toes straight, and the arms flat and straight on both sides.
3. Bend the spine slightly to the right, the left arm extends upward over the top of the head, the left hand grabs the right ankle, pulls the right leg against the body, and the head against the right leg.
4. Maintain your balance and keep this position for a few minutes.
In fact, the twist is not as difficult as people think. You can stretch more muscles and bones before practicing yoga asana, so that you can easily do difficult movements when practicing yoga.I believe that the original intention of practicing yoga is not to reach the level of yoga masters, but more for self-cultivation and self-cultivation.No matter what the purpose is, I hope everyone can keep practicing yoga and get growth and change from yoga. All right, let's clock in and practice yoga with Xiaoga.
What is yoga?
The master will tell you: yoga is the connection, the unity of the Vatican and the self. Beginners will tell you: yoga is fitness, is exercise, yoga can shape and lose weight. Some people will tell you that yoga is stretching. Everyone has a different yoga in mind.
What is yoga? For me, it's changing all the time.
In the first yoga theory class, the teacher told me that yoga is a connection, and the ultimate goal is to achieve the unity of the Vatican and the self. I wonder if yoga is theology, just like becoming a Buddha and practicing immortals in China.
With my own practice, I feel that yoga is a kind of balance. This balance covers all aspects.
In terms of yoga asana: the balance of physical strength and flexibility. Stable and flexible balance of joints. The balance on both sides of the body.
From my heart: yearning for advanced asana and practicing the balance of basic asana year after year can also be said to be a balance between ideal and reality.
Now it is found that yoga is a way of life. You will bring everything from your yoga class, consciously and unconsciously, to your life. It is an imperceptible influence, just as if you stay in an environment for a long time, you will become a part of the environment.
In terms of posture: sitting, standing, walking, and even lying down will pay attention to posture and maintain a positive, healthy and balanced posture. This is why many people say that people who practice yoga look different from others. Among other things, her requirements for posture are subconsciously engraved in her mind.
From the bottom of your heart: you will use yoga to deal with people and deal with others. Let me give you a few examples.
1. "stretch gently at the edge of the body, do asanas within your ability, do what you can, and don't pull hard." I'm sure you've all heard this sentence. In life is to try our best to do one thing, to do well every step, but the result is not forced. If you succeed, be grateful; if you fail, sum up the experience and continue next time. Don't ask, don't be discouraged.
2. "everyone's body is different, do not compare, do not force themselves to complete postures that cannot be completed temporarily, and accept themselves." You should have heard this sentence. It is the same in life, accept your shortcomings, strive to change your shortcomings, and enjoy the process of changing them. Be open to your flawed self. Not only to yourself, to your family, to your friends, to your children.
3. "when a pose cannot be completed, we can use aids. Using a compound tool does not mean that we cannot do it, but only for a better understanding of the pose." It's the same in life. I don't think I need to explain this.
4 "pay attention to breathing and body when keeping asana." The same is true in life, when doing anything, focus on what you are doing, do not think about it, you will find that the world is very simple.I think if you figure this out, you won't have insomnia. Why do you have insomnia? You think too much when it's time to go to bed. You forget that your task now is to sleep.
For now, yoga is life for me. The wisdom of yoga is the wisdom of life. Live with the wisdom and way of thinking of yoga, you will find that life is very simple, very happy, easy to be satisfied, but we are also positive, motivated, hard, not afraid to pay sweat.
You can have a try. The next time you face difficulties in life, when you can't control your emotions, when your business is bad, when you're lovelorn, when you encounter setbacks, or when you get carried away, think of the breathing, patience, tolerance, and relaxation on the yoga mat. You will suddenly feel relaxed.
Pay attention to Fanyi and share health and beauty.
Before I finished writing and publishing, I habitually looked at an article to see if there were any typos and sentence inconsistencies, and suddenly found that if one day I stopped writing yoga, it would be very fresh to write chicken soup.
Almost every yoga book begins by saying that yoga is a spiritual practice.
In my understanding, this refers to the practice of physical behavior and mental behavior. We practice physical strength, flexibility, balance, inner calmness, enlightenment, and the wisdom, philosophy and charm of yoga.
Every time I attend a yoga class, I pay close attention to the teachers in front of me, especially the female instructors. Most of them are tight and slim, their breath is steady and slow, and they speak freely and have a blue temperament. If there is a high quality with philosophy, the password with life wisdom will be more perfect. I admire such yoga instructors so much. If it were me, I would not be very happy. If it were not for me, I would continue to practice self-cultivation and sexual practice.
One flower, one world, one leaf, one Bodhi. A flower is a world, and a yoga pose is a world. Mountain asana is the entrance to this world. All yoga asanas come from mountain asana variants. We often practice 108 poses, but there are tens of thousands of asanas recorded in the book. There are as many asanas as there are animals in the world. As Laozi said in the Book of morality: Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
Laozi said: Tao can be Tao, very Tao. It means that the great truth of the world, great wisdom is indescribable, the Tao is not the real Tao, the same is true of yoga, this is a simple and complex problem. I can say that yoga is definitely not real yoga. I haven't realized what I've learned yet. If I force it on me, I can't hold it. Let go of comparison, utilitarianism, with the correct method, through practice, continuous improvement, to achieve the purification of body and mind, the connection between man and nature, that's all.
Yoga is a sport, a sport suitable for both young and old, a fashionable and beautiful exercise, a sport that can restore self-confidence to people with low self-esteem, slim people to fat people, young people to old people, and young people to young people forever.
Yoga is about to become popular in China, not to mention first-and second-tier cities, and even third-and fourth-tier cities are full of yoga studios. If you don't know yoga yet, learn about it.
I'll give you some postures, so let's get to know it properly with me.
Prayer form
A this action is the simplest one, and it can not only help us achieve the effect we want, but also help us greatly ease our mood and help us relieve our stress. It can be said to get twice the result with half the effort.
B although this action seems simple, but the psychological requirements for people are very high, requiring us to take a worshiping posture with both arms, eyes straight ahead and slowly closed, waist straight. Let's not think about anything when we do this. In order to achieve better results.
Horseback riding variant
A this action belongs to a more complex action compared to other movements, although it seems to be a relatively simple action, but the requirement for the flexibility of the body is very high. So Xiaoga suggests that you must do some warm-up activities before doing the action.
B first of all, we need to do a bow step, with the right leg in front and the left leg in a vertical position between the right thigh and the right calf. Kneel on your left knee on the ground. The right thigh is in a straight line with the left thigh. The left thigh is folded with the left calf.
C waist straight neck straight, eyes straight ahead, right arm straight, right forearm on the right knee, left hand on the left foot. Keep the whole movement for three minutes.
Upper leg extension variant
A this action is a relatively simple action compared with other actions. And it can also help us greatly improve the flexibility of our bodies. Xiaoga suggests that you must do some warm-up activities before doing the action.
First of all, we should open our legs slightly, sit on the ground, straighten our waist, straighten our neck, and look at the position of 45 feet above the front of our eyes.
C slowly raise the height of his legs, the right leg is perpendicular to the ground, the left leg makes a detour behind the head, and the left calf is perpendicular to the thigh. The left arm takes a detour in front of the left thigh, and the right arm is raised naturally, keeping the whole movement for about 5 minutes.
Lying corpse style
A this action is a relatively simple action, and it is also the kind of action that can be applied to most people, and it can also help us relieve our stress.
B first of all, we need to lie flat on the yoga mat, stretch our arms back naturally, slowly raise the height of the right leg, give our legs a two-legged posture, the waist is straight, and the left thigh is perpendicular to the left calf. This action can be carried out for a long time.
Warrior two.
A this action is a relatively simple action, which can not only help us achieve the effect we want, but also help us achieve the effect of stretching the flexibility of the body.
B first of all, we need to do a bow step, with the right leg in the front and the left leg behind, the right leg in a bow, and the left leg straight. Straighten your waist and neck and keep your eyes straight ahead. The arms are spread out naturally, and the foreheads of the legs can do this to each other.
About slimming, Xiaoga has something to say: we should not blindly choose some methods that are disadvantageous to us, we should choose the right way to achieve the effect we want. Diet pills can not only achieve the desired effect, but also bring side effects to us.
