Is it better for beginners of yoga to learn from him or Iyengar?
Beginners of yoga suggest learning hatha yoga, because as a ground-based pose, hatha yoga needs to lay a solid foundation and learn hatha yoga well. other positive yoga, flow yoga, air yoga, Pilates and Iyengar will have further understanding, so hatha yoga is recommended.
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.
Just started to learn yoga, do you want to learn Hatha or Iyengar yoga? ?
Hatha Yoga and Iyengar Yoga have their own characteristics. Hatha Yoga does not require accurate asana, but it can also have a good fitness effect, which is helpful to dredge meridians and collaterals and increase vital capacity. Iyengar Yoga pays attention to accurate asana, will use accessories to help us adjust the position of each bone muscle in a single asana, the direction of our own efforts, and so on.
And if you are 30 years old, I think you can focus on Iyengar between 30 and 50. If you are over 50, you can choose Iyengar yoga directly.
Ask for attention, thank you.
How can heroes sit and practice without hurting their knees?
In the process of yoga practice, whether it is a simple pose or a difficult pose, you should follow your own physical conditions, practice within the scope of your ability, or reduce the difficulty or use auxiliary asanas. "No greed, no limits, no more challenges." Do not forget the original ideals and aspirations, step by step.
Normal practice of hero sitting will not hurt the knee, and it is good for the knee joint.
The effect of hero sitting in the Light of Yoga is very clear: hero sitting can cure knee joint rheumatism and gout. It is also good for flat feet, because the ankles and feet are stretched, so it helps to form the correct arch. But this requires long-term practice, for several months in a row, and a few minutes of practice every day to be effective. People with painful heels or people with heel spurs will also relieve the pain through practice. At the same time, just after eating, you can also practice hero sitting, which can relieve stomach distension.
How should the hero sit practice?
The specific exercise steps are as follows:
1. Get ready to kneel, keep your knees together, keep your feet apart, press the back of your feet, and try to extend your 5 toes to the ground in 5 directions, especially your little toes.
2. Start pulling the calf belly muscles outward from below the knee fossa with both hands.
3. Sit your hips in the middle of your legs, press your ischial bones to the ground, do not bow your back, do not shrug your shoulders, and extend your spine upward.
This is the complete hero sitting practice step. For those with good flexibility, you can continue to go down into the lying hero style, below the 👇 diagram
Of course, for some people who are not very flexible or have sore feet, they can also practice with aids.
1, the bottom of the buttocks pad, which is the most common auxiliary method.
2. Add a blanket between your legs.
3. Pad the towel under the instep.
The thickness of the bricks under the buttocks and the thickness of the towels should be adjusted according to their own physical conditions, so that they can maintain the posture comfortably and stably, and there is no pressure on the knee joints.
These three methods are the most commonly used methods in our practice. Today, when I was writing this article, I looked through the book "the Light of Yoga" and found that there was a simple version of Hero. Master Iyengar gives a step-by-step practice of sitting heroes in his book. I'll share it. You can try it next time you practice.
Lower 👇 diagram
If you find it difficult to practice hero sitting, you can practice it step by step in the following ways:
- Put one foot on the other and put the hip on it (figure 85)
- Gradually move your toes (figures 86, 87)
- Until the feet are separated and the hero sits (figure 88)
All exercises need to be done step by step, and injuries are most likely to occur when your body can't do it, but your heart wants to do it and takes action to force your body to do it.
Pay attention to Wanyi and share health and beauty
