Iyengar has 25 yoga asanas. How many poses are there in yoga?
How many asanas are there in yoga?
Why do you only know how to meditate after practicing yoga for so many years?
There is a saying between progress and retrogression that immutability is retrogression. When everything is developing, it is called retrogression if you stay where you are.
For an enterprise, the method of changing employees is very simple. If there is no change during the one-year tenure and when they first arrive, then this is the employee to be eliminated. So learning and methods are very important.
Of course, what Xiaofa is going to say today is not so serious, but the nature is the same. Beginners of yoga may only know how to meditate, but if yogis still know how to meditate after half a year, then no matter how much time you spend on yoga, it won't yield much benefit. Therefore, the method is very important, to learn to improve themselves step by step, it is necessary to master the main points of training, from simple to complex, so it is not difficult to become a yoga.

According to the introduction of Xiaocai's yoga asana today, I believe everyone has seen that in all yoga poses, meditation is not the only one. Only by constantly learning new asanas can it be better for our bodies.
It is said that there are eighty-four thousand yoga poses. This statement should be related to the 84000 methods of Buddhism. The Indian government has announced more than 500 yoga postures. In fact, we ordinary people only learn about 100-200 yoga, dozens of them can be practiced every day, and it is even said that as long as we adhere to the training of a few postures, we can keep healthy. For example, the classic sun worship in yoga actually consists of only seven postures, but long-term practice will be very beneficial to our body.
Yoga asana, or yoga pose, is a key feature of modern yoga practice. Hundreds of different poses can be found on the Internet. Each school of yoga has its own favorite and new asanas are often added.
History.
Patanjali Yoga Sutra was written around 200 BC, but there is no specific yoga posture instruction. Shiva lists 84 asanas in this collection. ChandaKapali's work gherandsamhita claims that Shiva teaches 8400000 different asanas, but only provides detailed guidance for 32 different asanas. In modern times, 200 poses are listed by master Iyengar in the Light of Yoga.
The following picture is drawn by Master Dharma Sri Dharma Mittra
Variant
When it comes to calculating the actual number of poses, the change increases the number of poses. For example, there are at least four different changes in the Saint-Gamaliki style. Similarly, the lotus can be half, whole, bundled, forward curved, or embryonic (arms through the legs, hands on the chin, buttocks balanced).
Different masters teach different styles and genres of yoga. They usually have most of the same postures, sometimes with different names, and some people say that yoga poses are infinite because people have unlimited imagination and the ability to change their bodies. There is no need to care about the number of yoga poses, how much you can practice, the reasonable use of asanas and the series of yoga poses bring benefits to the body and mind is the main thing. Isn't it?
There are 108 basic asanas, and all the other asanas come out in 108 asanas, so strictly speaking, 108 asanas are the number of yoga asanas, but if there are countless variants, we still don't know whether we can finish the 108 asanas in my life. I hope I can live longer and finish it.
Here are some basic yoga poses, all of which are simple.
The calves are thick and short, dare not show their legs in photos, and do not have the confidence to face the camera, which is an annoying problem for many girls. Not confident about their own body, but also want to take beautiful photos, but can not avoid their own mouth, like to eat and drink, weight loss always ends in failure.
Don't want to go to the gym? Hate running? Today, Xiao Jia has brought benefits to all the girls with thick legs, so that you can be skinny at home! This yoga routine stretches our legs, allows the blood to circulate, burns leg fat quickly and easily has long legs.

What should I do if I want to be an Iyengar yoga teacher?
Iyengar Yoga teacher training and certification system is currently the most stringent in the world, but also one of the most widely respected and accepted yoga systems. The precise, safe and in-depth training system of Iyengar yoga and its perfect combination with modern physiology and anatomy are the reasons that fascinate yoga teachers with professional ideals and pursuits all over the world. Before you can become an Iyengar yoga teacher, you need to be a good student.Therefore, the whole learning plan is:
Introduction class (mainly study the content of junior I, class time: 5 days)
Intensive I (learning junior I and some elementary II content, class time: 28 days)
Intensive II (in-depth study of junior II, class time: 20 days)
Teacher training course, namely TTC (mainly learning the teaching methods of primary I and primary II for 3 years, 3 periods a year, 5 days each)
After the TTC course, you will take the certification exam organized by the Chinese Iyengar Yoga Association, and the certificate will be issued only if you pass the exam. In the world, only Ramamani Iyengar Yoga Memorial Yoga College, the highest university of Iyengar Yoga, is qualified to issue Iyengar Yoga certification, which is globally recognized. At the end of each course, maintaining regular self-practice is a vital part of digesting and absorbing what you have learned, as well as ascension. When the cognition and self-practice of yoga reach a certain degree, proceed to the next stage of the course.
[remarks]Since 2017, China has stopped offering a new Iyengar Yoga teacher training course (TTC). Since then, the college has been receiving inquiries from students from all over the world. in order to meet the needs of students who want to systematically study Iyengar yoga teaching methods, the college will open a series of junior II workshops in 2019.
